My battery light came on at Big Dogs, so we put a pop tab in the loose terminal to keep it tight. No more light.

I have nothing but good things to say about Detroit locker in my hp44. Locks when it should and ratchets when it should. I've broken shafts without breaking the locker.

Thanks for the input, I've read under acceleration you will get a quick impromptu pull left (Torque Steer) that takes some getting used to. How bad is the torque steer with this thing?

You're speaking about the TruTrack LSD as being the "soft" locker?
