I just want to know what happen if I put a detroit locker in the rear end (9.25). am I going to have problems at the time of driving the car on the highways?
it is a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular cab 4x4. Thanks

Hello, The problem with lockers on the rear?   When driving on the highways going straight is OK....It is when you making turns the "locker" will push your truck straight....YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT YOUR TRUCK INTO "NEUTUAL" ON ALL TURNS....research this more...

One locker is better than two limited slips....best to get a electic or air locker in the rear so as to unlock them when on the highways....

When off roading the lockers will make your truck a truer 4x4....research this more\

Aloha,

to be honest, your truck will still make turns if you put lockers in the rear. it will hop while doing so though. My cousin has a 2wd Nissan Hardbody with a pausey unit rear end and it hops when making sharp turns.
