If it's too bad I'll sell it and put in a factory limited slip with carbon clutches, but I hope that won't be necessary.
I've been trying to track down my clunk in my truck. On and off the gas it feels like driveline slop, and it jolts the entire truck when I put it in reverse. I have been assuming it's backlash issues and bought a dial indicator so I could pull the cover off when it comes out of storage this spring, but I did read that Detroits can effectively add backlash as well. Is it possible this is just a "detroit being a detroit" issue?

First actual vehicle I've had with a real locker, everything else has been a limited slip or open, so I'm not sure what to think.
