Hi guys, I have a D60 in my e body, it’s a 35 spline 3.74 Strange S-Trac, I’m about to order a second one for my ‘70 Roadrunner but I’m not sure which carrier to choose S-Trac or other. Reason being, currently when I pull up on the street, either foot brake it or just mash it, I only have the left wheel spinning similar to an open centre, I can’t run a spool or Detroit type locker on the street as the cops go nuts on these so I’m left with a clutch or helical gear type carrier. Give my your thoughts please? The cops get mad if you spin two tires, but they’re OK with one??? Am I not understanding this?

The cops probably just believe all the old tired comments about running a locker on the street......Like your car will burst into flames and flip over if you go around a turn with a locker.

They probably just don't like tires squeeling or chirping turning around corners. If your talking about frying the tires in a straight line then no cop on the planet is going to approve of that whether it is one tire or two. . Been there, done that, got the trophy.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

They have "Anti Hooning" laws in Australia, going round a corner squealing the tyres due to a spool or just under power will earn you a ticket. Shouldn't really have an issue with a detroit locker, it should unlock going round a corner, I don't know mine is there.

Yes the Anti Hooning laws suck here, I have been pulled over on the side of the road on a grassy gravel area and been made drive in a tight circle where had I have had a locker etc the inside wheel would have turned/slipped on the surface, guy before me had a locker and the car was pink slipped for unroad worthy FFS The locker in mine doesn't do that, it pretty much must disengage instantly on any turn, I also barely hear a thing, full lock or other wise. The only time I've heard it disengage, I was pushing it from the rear. I've never heard it from the inside. I don't know if some of the earlier ones were a bit "coarse" in operation but the one I got works perfect.
