Default Detroit Trutrac?

I have a '99 sport with a Chrysler 8.25 29 spline. Does anybody know if I have a stock tracloc? The tires spin opposite, but I'm thinkin the clutch plates are worn. Also, I'm thinkin about a getting a trutrac but I also have my eye on these luchbox lockers. Of course I still need to pop the cover off and see if I have an open carrier or not but I was wondering if anybody had any real life, long term experience with these things. I'm building my rig for trails and mild wheeling, I will mostly be using it for DD so I wonder is one of these powertrax is all I need, Hmmmm.

Powertrax are awesome. I have yet to see a stock posi XJ but I know they're out there. Posis in XJs is like Eskimos with freezers... just useless. Get a locker and be done with it. Most posis will cost more than a powertrax anyways

Pull the rubber plug out and stick your finger in the hole. You will be feeling the edge of the carrier. If it is rounded off towards the passenger side it's open. If it's level across then you have a trac lock.
