thanks, I guess James and I are little weaklings. Oh well it is in and
working :) Now I will have to redo my burnout on the DML web site to get
both tires to truly go up in smoke :)

Tim,

My No-Slip makes a similar clunk when engaging / disengaging in tight
corners. Usually I only hear this when parking or backing up. I believe it
to be normal for the unit. As far as the tests go, you have to put some
effort to get the locker to disengage but it should do as illustrated in
manual.

Regards,

Craig

It isn't that severe but I do have a couple of questions. I put the no-slip
locker in yesterday and it went in beautiful after I took some metal off the
outside of the C-clip. One question I have though, when I was testing it
they said to push the driver side wheel forward and push the passenger wheel
forward and they should not move. it didn't which is what it's supposed to
do. The do the same for the driver side and push the passenger side
backwards and it should move...It didn't but it's supposed to. I went ahead
and put the truck on the ground and made some turns in the driveway. It
make a pretty loud clunk when disengaging. Some are pretty loud and others
are soft. I drove it for about 100 miles and it quieted down after I got
close to 100 miles until I was in my driveway and it made a pretty load
clunk when I put it in reverse?

ED, I know you did this. does yours make some clunking noise when
disengaging. Has it quieted down? I may make a video clip of it to send
you.
