I'm looking for some advice, I have a Chevy Caprice with a standard limited slip differential, and I am thinking about installing a locker, but I am hearing negative things when it comes to highway driving. Especially going around sharp corners at low speeds. I live in Canada and a locking differential would be nice, but 95% of my driving is highway and I don't want to hear my rear wheels chirping going around corners. Is a Detroit Locker suitable for highway use in a full size car?

I have a 01 2500 non HD 2wd with a locker and 32 inch mud claws and it can hold its own in mud and snow against my buddy's 4x4 Dakota

@motogmc10 sweet. Some people have been saying that the drivability issues are amplified with a manual trans. So I wonder. but love your truck man, makes me happy seening some other 2wd's wheelin!!
Hey man quick question. How does the detroit locker perform? Off road and street? I heard the street drivability Is kinda weird...true?

Its not that bad. You dont notice at all while driving normal except in turns. If I roll through a turn its fine. If i'm on the gas in a turn then the inside wheel will skip . If i stomp the pedal in a turn then i'm drifting. HAHA. There are a few different lockers from Eaton though. Mine is always locked and will unlock in a smooth turn. Other lockers stay unlocked untill one wheel slips then it will lock up. I wanted the full lock for my use.

@motogmc10 alright thanks man. i like to concept of the detroit, seems like a solid option. im not real fond of the air lockers.... drilling a hole in the diff, air lines, and you have to have a compressor and what not.

I know of the Eaton Tru-trac and the Sure-trac lockers. Check out Eaton's website. It shows all the specs on the types of differentials. Mine is called the NO-spin, AKA Detroit Locker
