then you'll hear an occasional pop, or in really tight turns you'll hear it ratchetting.beyond that...same same"

Different tire pressure. Dud, it's going to do that! Everyone knows that.
"Ratchetting in tight turns"... Well no shit! That is what it does.......until you hit the gas. Why is that hard for you to understand, JimFool?

"honestly it felt "squirely" I do not know how else to describe it. It was like every steering component went loose on the truck in those conditions and I had to constantly correct the steering a hair in each direction every few seconds. Maybe it was just me but I didn't like it."

This was Rob's comment WHEN THE T-CASE WAS LOCKED. Meaning, there was power to the fucking pinion. The DT was locked......off-the-fucking-road. How does this help your case, JimFool, with road manners?

"I have one in my D1 its nice, my make some noise around a tight corner hitten the gas a lilltle. I havent had it in the snow yet, so I cant say any thing their. awsome in the sand."

Again, thank you, WHEN HE IS ON THE GAS.

"A member in our Arizona group has 96 DI with a detroit in the back and a ARB in the front and he loves the Detroit.
He's got 4" of lift and is running 35's.
No side effects to speak of accept sharp cornering you'll hear a little clicking. He's had his in for about 6 months."

As it does! That's what I've said all along when these are install in a fucking Rover. You will never know it's there (unless the t-case is locked)

"That is unless the street is snow or ice covered. I'll not go back to a Detroit, not that it was that bad, cause I dealt wit hit for 2 years but it was weird enough for me not have the desire to go back. Dry highway or even rain I could never tell.

Again, "Dry highway or even rain I could never tell". Thank you, Jimfool, for making my point yet again.

Also I didn't like the way it crabbed up slick muddy hills."

T-case locked, power to the pinion. Again.
....and how many streets have "slick muddy hills"? I thought want to knbow about road manners, jimfool? Make up you damn mind here....

Could that be because it locked when cornering on ice and snow, and ratcheted(unlocked) when cornering in good traction conditions? Actually a lot of the posts seem to contradict each other.

No, it will unlock in a turn WHEN THERE IS NO POWER TO THE PINION. It's that damn easy!
