Default experiences with the G80

well i went out and did a little playing with my truck and i got my G80 to kick in and lock. this is the first time the G80 has been locked ever on the blazer, i wouldnt think my grandma had it locked ever haha. is it normal to have a "finger nail on a zipper" sound when it locks? this noise is kinda loud and i got a little scared when i heard it. what have your experiences been with your G80?

mine works about 50% of the time. The clutches are wearing out. Mine doesn't really make any noise though
