tire chirp?

[roveroverme]

I have something i noticed on my M1028a2 and didn't ever had it happen on my M1028a3 : So sometimes when I turn (and not step on the fuel pedal much)
I get this chirp coming from the rear tires. Could that be from the detroit locker? I know my old one didn't do that ever.

Yes !!!

I had the feeling they took the detroit locker out in the old truck, but now I am sure they did.

The lockers have some slop designed in them . Once that slop has been loaded. like in a turn the outer tire rotates more than the inner tire causing any other load such as acelleration to make the inner tire to match speed with the outer.

In addition to that mine will get at ah wobble when turning at speed. For instance going down the highway at 70+ and there's ah bend in the road, you can feel the locker slop.

My 1008 chirps the tires quite a bit. Hot pavement and tight turns at stoplights
at low speeds make the best chirps. I giggle every time!

I go like… 'ohhh F***k what did break now'. I guess I have to get used to it

Wait till it pops in a straight line at high speed

Here's ah good video illustrating how the lockers work and sound. At the end when he gets to the top of the hill you can hear the locker PING!!!...................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_dZerJwfmI
