9", 4channel, Locker.... Just wondering if people with this combo have had any problem with the ABS? I was gonna go for a 9 with a locker and try to keep my ABS/TCS. In short does your locker mess with your ABS system?
Thanks,
Erik

I have a 9" with locker and 4 channel. No problems so far. But I have only had it in for only 400 miles still breaking it in. When I make turns or what ever the tcs does not engage or anything. I have talked with others with the same set up and they reported no problems either.
Shop I bought my set up said it won't be a problem. Only a spool will not allow you to use ABS and TCS.

I have a 4 channel and a spool and dont have any problems. The ABS even seems to funtion ok despite the spool. I got mine prepped for 4 channel in case I ever decide to put in a trutrac or other posi, its only a center section change away.

I have a 35 spline with a locker and 3:70 gears. My PCM was re-flashed for the gear change. Occasionally, my low trac light will come on when I'm turning a corner from a dead stop. I think the locker may be causing the wheels to turn in a chattering fashion during certain throttle positions when I'm turning a corner. I can feel the rear engaging and chattering. Funny thing is though, A friend of mine and I were taking a break in between working on a car in his garage the other night. It was real late so I was driving VERY conservatively leaving his house and through town as my car tends to attract attention. He was astonished how quiet and well behaved the locker was when we were driving. I normally take of quickly, rev to 3k before I shift, etc. Driving like a sane person takes 90% of the bad behavior out of this thing at low speeds. I've NEVER had any issues with the ABS.
