Not an issue. The locker is invisible above 20mph, you really have to provoke it in to jerking/ locking at speeds more than 10mph.
The locker still unlocks at full throttle in second gear going around a 90 turn at 10mph in my truck.
Ideally, you want to keep just enough tension in the driveline going around corners. Its pretty easy to figure out once you drive it, but hard to explain on paper. One easy way to accomplish this is go around corners in a higher gear than usual but give it more throttle.
Unlike some people on the board here, my truck drives 40% city, 40% highways, 18% dirt roads, and 2% technical 4wd trails. I have not found the locker to be as invasive as some people suggest it may be. Its not something that passengers are usually aware of, even when driving on ice or snow.
