Default SLP Line Lock Safe ?

I just bought this kit and now I am reading about how it is not that safe and reliable !!!! I want to install it but not sure now. Who has these that use them with no problems at all. Make me feel more comfortable with it so I can use it.

I have had mine for over a year...I dont use it often but I have never had a problem. I have heard the solenoids are not the best quality but like I said mine works great!

Sounds like a few here have them and do not have problems so that make me feel better. Will install it tomorrow. Thanks.

Can it be returned and swapped out for a Hurst instead?

If I had the choice, I'd get the Hurst with prebent lines from Thunder Racing. Otherwise, the SLP is next best for someone who doesn't want to bent the lines.

running SLP unit 7-8 years, fit great never a problem, will see if I can find my writeup.

try this , if you bleed as I did never have to go under car, repete never a problem
LINE LOCK INFO

IS hole behind pcm , but I drill hole beside steering colum also ( drill from inside out ) put a peace of rubber hose in hole ran wire inside hose, then use same type wire wrap as GM
I also mounted switch in ash tray
I have used this unit for15-16 months >>( as of today 7-8 years)<< with NO problems ( well yes one problem :::SLICK tires )

PS ::Connect brake line to master cyl and line lock ,the second line which goes to ABS block start it but leave it loose,remove cap from master cyl and let the lines grivity bleed watch the loose connection untill all air is out and run pure fluid ( may shake the line a little to help bleed ( REMEMBER BRAKE FLUID WILL REMOVE PAINT
I placed plastic sheet over fender)if does not gravity bleed blow into master cyl and have some one watch for fluid at ABS block >>>THIS way you do not have to bleed the brakes from under car- I had no problem of any kind
also the picture from SLP is UPSIDE DOWN install with the wire connection UP
Sorry for the long post, hope it helps,
Johnny

I have a sjm line lock never ever had any problems. I use it every now and then just so it will not lock up.
