Locker vs no slip?
First, how does a no slip compare to a LSD. I was going to order an aussie locker and the guy at the shop said a no slip was stonger and smoother than a locker. I know smoother, but stronger? I thought that no slips like Power trax were the same as LSD. Just would like to know before i buy anything.

Ok so the power trax isnt a LSD, i knew about the clutch packs and all, just never heard any input from people with the power trax. Ill look for reviews of it. Thanks for the help man.

They work exactly the same as an Aussie just don't click. If you don't mind the occasional click then save the 100-150 bucks and go with an Aussie. I ran them front and rear for years and loved them. The only real weakness to any lunchbox locker is the stock carrier.

Well i asked about the no slip because the shop arround here doent carry aussie and i dont want to ship anything. The no clicking would be nice and sence i can pick it up and have it installed same day then ill go with the Power trax. Itll only take a week or 2 to save up a little more money.

I recently installed a powertrax no slip in my 8.25c/ 29 spline. I love it! I doesn't make a bit of noise, the only thing that I have any complaint about is it stays locked when accelarating around a corner. If you coast around a corner it acts like a stock unit. I've also noticed a little more backlash sound in the differential when going from fwd to rev and back. It really woke my XJ up, worth every penny.
