OK so I just got my car running and took it out today. It has 3.73 gears and a detroit locker in the rear end. It will lock in sometimes and sometimes it wont. Anyways I was doing a few burnouts and launching it a few times and the left tire was spinning? I would think if im going straight the right tire would spin or both would not just the left side? Say I go around a corner I can hear it unlocking and feel it lock back in.

Yeah I'm pretty sure its a locker. When I go around a corner it is clicking and when i start to straighten it out it clicks really loud and you can feel it. Also I can look in my rear view mirror and see 1 tire mark on the road and when it locks in I can see 2 tire marks on the road. I've had lockers before I know its a locker.

Yeah It might just be messed from the previous owner not setting it up or breaking it in right. IDK I might pull the cover off this week and see if I can find anything.
