I just put it a new Grizzly locker in a 39 Sedan not to happy so far. It's pops like something broke from time to time just wandering what you fellows have in you car.
456 --- 9" spool
use clutch type they do not pop i have used many . on the grizzly lockers. i have one i a 35 spline one. only because that is the only thing i could find for that size axle spline at the time . i do use spools on the street full spool would be better no center pin . but hard on axles.Quote:

if you pre load clutch load they hold up just fine for soft street tire cars. still have the same ford 4 spider unit been under all my cars never been rebuilt that.s has been over 27 years.i never busted second gear sprag in a 400 from letting off and getting back on the car and hitting second gear you can with a locker done it.to much roll out or engagement that.s the pop and click and hard on auto trans sprags if you making abit of power in a heavy car
They can scare the heck out of you! I had one in my 67 Mustang and every once in a while it would "un-load" in a turn and it felt like \ sounded like something exploded in the rear-end! After a dozen years of that I swapped in a clutch type, I guess I'm getting old.. :LOL::LOL:Quote:
