I've got a Detroit soft locker, which is a little quieter than the regular Detroit locker. The soft locker is 31 spline and the regular locker 35 spline. 4,000 rpm clutch dumps = no problem. A spool is a solid connection between the axles and does not lock and unlock around corners. It can be dangerous driven on the streets especially if wet. Some will dispute this.
It locks and unlocks going around corners, but on a straightaway it locks both axles like a ****. It is also relatively quiet ocassionally clicking and clanking.You know you've got a locker. It is solid no give to the drive train.
