Is a posi unit the same as a locker? I was looking at the powertrax noslip but this is much cheaper.

Unless you have the proper tools to install it you would have to take that to a pro. If your going to take it in you might as well change your gearing too. Just a suggestion though.

Positraction, LSD, lockers...all the same stuff, just named a bit differently. Positraction is Chevy's name/creation, and some people think Posi and LSD are different, but they are actually the same thing. There are 3 or 4 different types of Posi/LSD, but they all perform the same basic function.

Lockers and LSD are not the same. Limited slip differential means just that. It will allow some slip: not much, but some. A locker allows absolutely no slip. Both tires turn at the same speed all of the time.

Troy is right, LSDs, Opens and Lockers are all different. Further more, Chevy Posi-traction is a LSD but works much better than the Chrysler (MoPar) LSD and the Ford TractionLoc is another LSD (although the name implies its a locker).

I believe the only "special" tool you really need is a dial indicator to set the backlash of your gears. It would be nce if you could find someone with one. One could probobly even be rented.

The Auburn is a better unit, in that it works smoother, faster and can handle more abuse. It's big drawback is that the aren't rebuildable like the sure-grip. I have no idea how long they last but it's suppose to be the best road racing diff.

the mopar is an auburn unit. I ordered one,
and to my surprise, it has auburn instructions.
for race applications, the powertrax locking diff
is the way to go. a limited slip diff is exactly
what it sounds like "limited slip", not "no slip"
I have heard that the powertrax limited slip is a
better unit than the mopar (auburn) limited
slip. a full locker will be very noisy, the cops
will hear you coming!
BTW, where did you get that $225 price from?
mine was close to 4 bills. ($365)
01 4.7 CC auto 3.92 LS
Dynomax 3" catback, dumped
HO cams, HO intake manifold
ported-polished 68mm TB
