Default something is bad wrong

First off. when going about 1 to 5 mph the rear end makes the truck shimmy back and forth. Also when giving it gas on the highway the truck jerks to one side like the brake is on one side and it makes it pull to one side. I just put in the locker and gears so ay ideas. It is almost scarey.

What kind of locker do you have? Detroits and Powertrax lockers are bad for the highway lunge that you are describing. HOWEVER, it should NOT be shaking at slow speeds, and I have no idea what could be causing that.

Did you add fluid after the install? Don't laugh, I know someone who burned up a new rearend.

Don't drive it until you get the issue fixed.
