differential chatter?

Hi everyone, My '56 F100 with a 5.4 Triton and 5 speed o/d manual trans and 9" Ford Thunderbird rear(narrowed) has a chatter when turning corners if I am on the gas or decellerating. The rear pumpkin is a Detroit locker with 3.25 gears...do I need some kind of additive or is this just the nature of the locker rearend? Thanks for any help...buford8

Welcome to the world of Detroit Lockers, that is something you'll have to live with. I learned to either turn under throttle and spin the inside tire or coast thru a turn to avoid the noise.
