On the hunt for more traction, faster engagement, more controlled power transfer, and lightning-fast reaction to changing load conditions? High Performance Series differentials from Auburn Gear are an immediate upgrade to OE diffs, whether you want to upgrade your daily driver or weekend mud-churner.

Auburn Gear’s flagship diffs deliver smooth, torque-sensing operation with correct bias ratios to outperform the competition. Their unique cone-clutch design transfers more power to the high-traction wheel for quicker acceleration and tighter cornering—without compromising a vehicle’s performance requirements.

Made in the USA!

Features

  • Smooth, torque-sensing operation with correct bias ratios
  • Cone-clutch design transfers more power to the high-traction wheel for quicker acceleration and tighter cornering.

The PowerTrax Grip Pro represents the latest in traction-adding differential technology, combining the smooth operation of a limited-slip differential with the strength of a fully machined, forged-steel case. The Grip Pro delivers progressive and variable traction thanks to its 3×2 spiral gear technology, and puts you in control of how much traction is applied (based on throttle input).

PowerTrax sells the Grip Pro fully assembled. Additionally, its lack of friction plates means that no friction modifier additive/modifier is necessary (and should not be used at all—just use an 80W-90 petroleum-based gear oil with a GL-5 or higher rating).

Features

  • Fully assembled.
  • Delivers progressive and variable traction.
  • Lets you control how much traction is applied.
  • 3×2 spiral gear technology.
  • Fully machined, forged-steel case.

With more than 60 different models fitting over 100 vehicle types—including trucks, cars, Jeeps, and competition vehicles—the Lock-Right Lock locking differential from PowerTrax can be installed in existing case assemblies without any special tools or setup required. This fully automatic product sends engine power to the wheels requiring the most traction.

Designed to fortify vehicles that engage in demanding off-road or extreme-traction situations, the Lock-Right Locker eliminates wheel spin-up and any associated driveline trauma. This enhances the strength and integrity of the original case. Indeed, cases that occasionally fail with open or limited-slip/posi differentials become one of the strongest links in the drivetrain when equipped with a PowerTrax Lock-Right Locker.

Note: Recommended for vehicles primarily driven in severe driving conditions or during recreational off-road use. Daily drivers might benefit more from a more mainstream PowerTrax application.

Features

  • Designed for vehicles driven in severe driving conditions or for recreational off-road use.
  • Fully automatic system sends engine power to the wheels that need the most traction.
  • Eliminates wheel spin-up and associated driveline trauma.
  • Enhances strength and integrity of original differential case.

By John M. Arnaud

This week Parts Pro had the pleasure of hosting Motive Gear (and Richmond Performance Products—they’re both under the Midwest Truck and Auto Parts umbrella) for an all-day brainstorming session. Motive and Richmond offer premium drivetrain components, including ring and pinion gears, differentials, performance transmissions, transfer case parts, and replacement axle shafts.

Our guests were Bob Linville, Motive’s vice president of sales, and Steve Filipiak, the company’s director of marketing. They came down from the Windy City to share their plans for the coming year and to get more involved with the program tools we’ve built to help our retailers and jobbers succeed at the local level.

Many thanks to Motive Gear for investing in our time together. Here’s to ending 2015 with a flourish!
