I have had several lockers in the past, Detroit, Aussie, Auburn, and now Powertrax. They all have there pros and cons to each design, and all have a price tag that follows. As far as lunchbox style lockers go I feel Powertrax has taken the cake. For the money you cant go wrong with the Lockright or the no slip locker. Video of the No slip in actionInstallation is pretty easy too. Since we already were installing Alloy Axle shafts that helped shave a few minutes off from the install time on the no slip locker. First step for installation is to remove the diff cover and drain differntial. Next remove axle shafts. Refer to the link in my signature for more detailed information on the axle shaft removal. We were fortunate and didnt have any hang ups on removal of the axle shafts or removal of the carrier. All went very smooth and this was on a jeep that was 10 years old.



Once that is done, mark each bearing cap so that they will be reinstalled in the same direction and same side as before.

remove the rollpin that holds the main shaft through the spider gears. Once that is removed the spider gears can come out.


now remove the bearing caps and remove the carrier from the housing.


now that the carrier is out, have a work bench area cleaned off so that you can dissasemble the carrier and install the lockright


remove the ring gear from the carrier


make sure to note the original location of the carrier and ring gear. I used a zip tie on both the carrier and the ring to make sure that the ring gear didnt get clocked.


now you can begin installing the lockright

There's a couple questions that went unanswered in this thread and I was wondering the same kinds of things.

1. What is the difference between the Lock Right and No-Slip? I thought the No-Slip was a limited slip-like product while the Lock Right is an auto locker. But this whole business of no clutches and %100 lock up for the No-Slip makes me wonder...

2. How does the No-Slip handle up front in the snow/ice?

would this locker be ideal for my 02 TJ, i wanna put a noclip in my D35 rear end, only cuz powertrax is the only differential company that makes lockers for my Trak loc Carrier. i got stock axle shafts and 33's. and a real light foot no matter what i wheel

Help - I think I made a boo-boo with my locker install

I read in this thread -

make sure to note the original location of the carrier and ring gear. I used a zip tie on both the carrier and the ring to make sure that the ring gear didnt get clocked.

What happens if my carrier and ring "got clocked"?
Also what should be the torque spec for the unit bearings and ring gear?

I think you would be fine with the superior shafts as long as you stick to 33s.

Interestingly enough, based solely on cross section area and the yield stress differences, a 27 spline 4340 superior evo shaft is about the same strength as a stock d44 shaft.

If anything, I would think you would break the stock carrier or damage the housing itself.

Edit: Holy cow, Just realized this is an old as dirt thread. how did that happen?
