For vehicles that are driven daily, the PowerTrax ® No-Slip Traction System is the latest design in quiet, traction-adding differential technology. It combines the automatic, street-friendly, smooth operation of a limited-slip differential with the traction performance of a locking differential. The No-Slip Traction System features a patented, precise synchronization mechanism that eliminates the ratcheting sounds that are typical of other automatic locking differentials. Special gear and spring designs reduce the backlash, and therefore driveline windup. The heavy-duty construction is crafted using only 9310 ultra-strength material, which is stronger than titanium. The installation is easy because no ring and pinion set-up is required, and no special tools or oils are needed. Step-by-step instructions are included with every kit, making installation even more simple.

Features:

  • Application specific design available for 2WD/4WD vehicles
  • Gives 2WD vehicles the traction power of a 4×4
  • Delivers ultimate traction & smooth, quiet operation
  • Precision synchronization control makes friction clutches obsolete
