The Powertrax No-Slip is not a limited slip; it is a true locker. As such, it has the characteristics of a locker - some occasional loud, scary noises and a tendency to change the way your vehicle corners. I've been running one in my '74 Bronco for a couple years now. So far it has held up, and it definitely makes a difference in where you can and can't go.

E-mail me if you have any questions

3.90 to 4.10 is going to make a very small differance. You might consider something in the 4.25-4.60 range for a worthwhile change.

I have a Detroit Tru-Trak on my Cobra kit. It's extremly smooth, quiet, and eliminated the push out of the corners. But I don't expect you'll be running hard corners at 1+ G's ;)

Good point boB, he might be ready for 4.56 for the taller tires.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
