Blazer Flexed out w/ rear locker

Seth's 99 Chevy Blazer with a Rear Eaton G80 Locker is flexed out and for some reason only the floating tire spins. would anybody know why this would only happen when a tire is free. if both tires have traction the locker engages. leave comments for some help. thank you

dont have one anymore

it was a cherry bomb at the time. NO cat. there is a flowmaster on her now

That right there will completely shear the G80 locking mechanism, probably useless now

well its still works great when its not flexed out. it still locks when not flexed i dont understand why not when a tire is floating.

@4x4jeepmuddin we backed our HD into a ditch, i didnt see it but i think it was flexed out but the G80 locked right up this is odd..

what kind of exhaust you running? sounds good

[dan0champ]

everyone says these lockers always break but if you change the oil and do simple maintenance theyll go fine

thats weird, on my buddys z71 it locks no matter what the circumstances.

@4x4jeepmuddin Oh ok. When you say locked, you mean both wheels turn on like loose dirt? It will still do that even if the G80 isn't operating.
