Default Detroit Locker Question?

I just put in a Ford 9", Detroit Locker, & 3:89 gears. My question is when I turn i'm get no clicking. I have a couple buddies with the same setup and their car's click when turning. As far as I can tell, everything is running and working correctly. Don't get me wrong I love the quietness of the rear, but I'm worried I did something wrong. Did Mosier happen to change something in their rears to stop the clicking?

If you make a slow full-lock u-turn on a dry street it will click/clunk, its pretty obvious. Even the soft lockers will make some noise, maybe they gave you a regular posi instead of a locker..

My 31 spline Tractech soft locker has never made noises ever like clicking, but in a tight turn in say gravel it will drag the inside tire a bit.

Fireballs 35 spline locker cracked and popped like two dwarves were trying to get our attention from underneath his car when he gave me a ride a few years ago.

I'm pretty sure moser just uses a regular locker, some of them are pretty quiet. If both wheels spin if you nail it coming out of a curve its working whatever it is
