As the title states has anyone used these or know of anyone running them? I looked at the Lock-Right years ago for 7.5 in an el camino but the car... but the car with open diffs ate axels 3 times a day for meals so I never bothered.

Don't do it!!!! They are meant for off road use. If track only then they are okay. I put one in my 8.5 years ago when i was less knowledgable on rearend stuff.
Honestly, it hasn't performed bad, always locked the both tires, but acts more like a spool than its advertised.
When i redo my rearend i will be using an auburn or eaton carrier instead.

Hth,
Scott.

Honestly, it's not loud like a spool, just acts like one. I do give Richmond credit on that part....it really is quiet.

I put one in in a 2000 Sonoma I bought in 2002. They "clunk" when turning corners because it "rackets." They do work for posi when drag racing. It's better than nothing.
