Re: Locker or Limited Slip?

A "real" full-case locker would not have those issues because you would not have a bunch of parts floating around in the carrier.

For a 2wd, if you are going to drag it get a locker or spool. For a street driver I would go with a limited slip (the helical diffs are nice).
the one I'm looking at is not the lock right it is called the Powertrax Traction System and is for on road use in pickups and muscle cars
