Do Detroit lockers make noise?

Unless it is making the wheels rotate at different speeds (off camber bump) i have not experienced noise from bumps. Just when turning corners, sticker the tires the worse that was.
Heck yeah they make noise. Not necessarily going over bumps, but more like around turns. The will "unlock" around turns and the "lock" once straightened up. They can also make noise going straight when unloaded and then loaded again. Going over bumps? Make a video with some good audio and post it up.

Only if you ran over a frying pan. Exhaust pipe would be my guess

I guess my engine is loud enough to hide my dana 60 Detroit locker , have never heard a word out of it , it sure works great tho...
If it has an "SL" after the part number, that means "Soft Locker". They are designed to be quieter than their more noisier countreparts. They still make some noise, though.

Maybe it's not the rear but something else that is "clanging".
I have a Detroit locker in the S-60 in my Barracuda. If it does make noise, I can't hear it over my 3.5" side pipes!
In summary, install side pipes with no mufflers.

My old '68 Dodge Power Wagon had Detroit Lockers in Dana 60's front and rear. Some times in a mellow turn from a start, it would sound like someone slammed the rear axle with a sledgehammer with an accompanying whole vehicle shuffle.

Yes.
But they click around corners, not clang over bumps. That's something else.
