Gov-lock
They have a bad rep because they are crap in the 10 and 12 bolts. They are more durable in the 14BFF. They are not a real "reliable" locker though. They use wheel speed to lock up, and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they do at the wrong time ie. one tire moving at 35mph then lock then boom
If you want to run a Detroit you'll need a new carrier as pictured above with 4 cross pins. If you just need traction, and don't mind driving it on the street weld up the gov-lock

more like a LS as far as I know, def. not a true LOCKER. but run it til it dies, better than open I would guess.

YOu sure about that? Not everyone uses the proper additive....but im pretty sure it makes a big difference in how well it works.....There is an additive you are supposed to use for a reason.

There is no clutches really in a gov lock so there is no need to "modify the friction." lol
