Locker Question

Will too much gas or too much clutch while taking off cause an issue in the axle so the locker will lock? It seems sometimes if I do that it will cause the locker to lock and rear end will kick.

im guessing an auto locker? yes too much gas will cause a spinning tire which is what engages an autolocker. watch your power in corners..since it locks upon differentiation, itll kick out..esp in less traction weather like rain/snow...

where as with an open diff, the tire with no power has all the traction and the one with all the power spins wildy till the traction evens out. this is what keeps you from fishtailing around every corner...

For what I've learnt of my Detroit Soft Locker, if you're hard with the gas in corners the locker will be as hard with the truck.

I like this way of performing, you can control the locker "speed" hehehe
