Nope, Powertrax is darn quite. Very rarely heard a peep from it.

The no slip is designed largely to eliminate the ratcheting. Really, the biggest difference is to eliminate sound.

For your Dana 30. Go Spartan. Comes with the new cross pin, heavier springs and it doesn't use the thrust washers. I have it and NEVER hear it. And it works awesome every time.

For your Dana 35. Don't waste your money. Buy another axle and lock that up.

Plan on removing it during the winter months if you get snow and plan on using 4 wheel drive. You don't get much steering out of the front when it's engaged on slippery surfaces. It makes the jeep track straight during turns.

/agree

I'm in the process of rebuilding a junkyard Ford 8.8 and regearing to 4.88 + an ARB locker. Aside from the smoking hole in my wallet, i expect great results. ( going to try and regear it myself considering every diff place in my area wants between 400-750+ to do the work, even if i supply all the parts)

Disagree, but I'm not even going back into this argument again which has happened a bagillion times and usually results in a bunch of people from Michigan and up the least coast saying they love it in the winter.

Does anyone know the part # for the Powertrax NO slip unit for my 1994 XJ , 4x4 ,4.0, auto trani, with an original Chrys. 8.25 rear. I'm told the 94 came with 27 spline axles. Thanks
