thisismatt Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I would also post on http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/ A locker is what it is, a locker....no LSD :( It's still a locker, not a spool, though. Link to comment
SSS510 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Definitely wouldn't recommend for street use! Link to comment
chester Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Might be a stupid question but what's the difference with a locker and a lsd Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Big difference. When a locker "locks" it REALLY locks. LSDs use some sort of clutch pak, either viscous or actual clutch plates/cones, etc. There are a lot of different kinds of LSDs that behave differently, but the typical road LSD provides more torque to the wheel WITH grip vs an open differential that provides equal torque to both sides all the time (a spinning wheel uses very little torque, as does a stopped wheel, hence the one-wheel spin). A Locker simply locks the 2 sides together, which is useful off-road and on certain racetracks, but not so useful on normal or even wet roads. But, a Locker is better than a spool (no differential at all, it's a ring/pinion and a straight axle) IF you know how to drive one. But they can be unpredictable as to when they lock/unlock in a turn. I have one in my Chevy and it almost always chirps tires going around corners. Link to comment
SSS510 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 useful off-road and on certain racetracks, but not so useful on normal or even wet roads. Xactly! Off road use would be the only application I would use this for! Link to comment
Trophy24 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I drove a locker on the street in my Mustang back in the day. Not a tame way to go for sure. Random tire chirps around corners, the occasional loud Bang! under load when it locks in etc. U turns were the best... ka bang ka bang ka bang the whole way. It was great on the track tho. Lots of fun in the rain when you were paying attention. I would not go that way again for a street driven car. Link to comment
goes2fast Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Is this still available? I've run Detroit Lockers for years with no problems you just have to alter your driving style. I have them in my wife's jeep and mine as well presently. Link to comment
