I installed a powertrax no-slip in my 98 XJ. What a waste. It passes all the tests, but will stop spinning one tire after a corner. I call their tech support, and they are the worst. I give up. I just ordered an Auburn to replace this so called locker. I just wanted to have some more traction, and had more with the open rear. What waste of $400.

 

When I get it out it will be on E-Bay. It only has 500 miles on it. Cheap

 

For the Chry 8.25? Send me the link when you post it on ebay.

 

That sucks!

I love my ARB

 

sell ur auburn sell ur powertrax and get an Aussie locker

 

thats the whole point...it spins two tires when going straight and 1 in a corner unless you give it enough gas that it jumps around the corner. If its not locking up, dont blame powertrax, blame the installer. Thousands of people have it locking up perfectly

 

im concerned that you might be the biggest brand sackrider on the forum. you arent helping this guys situation, just pushing a brand that you like. the truth is, no-slip is at least as good as if not better than an aussie, this guy just obviously has it set up wrong or didnt expect a locker. not trying to be a terrible person, but everything I see from you is Rustys, aussie, etc etc. aussie locker isnt the solution here, fixing what he has is

 

Umm, unless i'm reading something wrong, i's working right. It unlocks during a corner, spinning 1 wheel, unless throttle is applied, and spins both wheels down a straight.

 

Every person that i've seen post negative comments has not followed the installation steps EXACTLY. They end up breaking one or paddles on the spacers and then blame the product.

I ran one for years, broke a paddle the first time i installed it too. Replaced the broken part and it worked flawlwessly.

My son has one in is 8.25".....no problems ever.

Take your's out, inspect it...betcha find a broken paddle.

That is what I'm getting from it... I have a powertrax no slip in my 1998 XJ. Has worked flawlessly. Very quiet too. When going around a corner with light throttle there isn't any action. Applying more throttle the inner tire starts to scrub. Applying a lot of throttle will just about make the back end break loose.

 

x2....

the PowerTrax No-Slip is a great locker I have seen alot take some abuse.

I will agree with FrankZ on the instillation. about 90% of negative comments comes from an improper instillation

 

Happened to me also... I manned up and admitted it though...

 

I believe you are winning

 

I believe this is what he has and its suppose to be a limited slip locker so in the corners both wheels should spin and then lock up in the straights.

If one wheel has little or no traction the locker remains locked. There has to be a force involved to unlock the locker. Otherwise it would unlock when you don't want it to.

It will unlock in a corner where both wheels have good traction. When it unlocks it will allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds. It remains unlocked until either

A: enough throttle is applied to overcome force of the saddle springs and seat the drive teeth (more than 1/3 throttle will do it)
B: both wheels start spinning at the same speed again.
