Posi or Positraction is a Chevy/GM brand for one of their limited slip traction enhanced diffs. Chrysler/Jeep calls their limited slip diff TracLoc.

One thing u are really good at is name calling. Gov-LocK is a locker, Posi or Positraction is a limited slip.

Slower than 1 tire fires. Faster if you have a heavy right foot and make it chirp corners

If you're light on the throttle it won't lock. You didn't read the big argument with moron here? Wrong again djb about the Gov lock. It has clutchs and is a posi that I can overpower by hand when it's in "lock mode". Why would I have bought a locker if I already had a factory locker in the truck? Go ahead keep talking and proving your stupidity

I better clearify what overpower by hand means lol. I jack the truck up, put it in gear grab the spinning tire and stop it with my bear hands. If it was a locker, I wouldn't be here proving how dumb you are

I'll go ahead and break out the crayons here. I can stop it by hand because the clutches are all wore out in my gov lock which should be refered to as a gov posi in newer silverados like mine

Oh and FYI, it's not a pain in the a$$ at all. pop the pan off, pull the carrier pin, pull the axles, pull all the spider gears out, install the locker as the instruction tell you to, gasket the pan and fill er up with standard gear oil and go **** off big lifted retarded trucks as you drive around them on the trail. Easily done in less than an hour if your drums aren't stuck on the shoes

OK! Is a lockright better then a no slip. Which is better and why. For what purpose would you get 1 or the other. No need to be calling names...
The lockright is a ratcheting annoying pos. It pretty much locks whenver it wants and won't unlock when it's supposed to. I had on in my truck and broke it. The ptrax is fully synchronized and silent. I always unlocks when you get the torsional strain off of it and it's silent in doing so. It's barely more expensive and totally worth. It's way stronger than the lockright too
