They only chirp if you make them chirp, easy on the throttle and it stays unlocked.
I'm totally sure if I had enough momentum and didn't bottom out too much I could totally get up that hill with my 1 wheel drive open differential. That would be fun to watch too!!!

Powertrax claims the No-Slip is smoother than the Lock-Right, in the real world, it's worse. If I had to do it over again I would have just gotten the Lock-Right.

I too would love to know whats the "best" locker or lock right option for our diffs...

SOMEONE should definitely start a poll, to see what is best for our trucks!

Sounds like a lock-right is what I need...

Thanks gents!
