Unitrax is the name of a gearing place in Califonia, me and a few others
have bought stuff there. The lock-right is a locking type differential (Made
by PowerTrax), very good for off roading but noisy for regular street
driving from what I am told. The new PowerTrax No Slip is a modified lock
right type differential that has clutches and is said to be much quieter. I
have about 3000 miles on my No Slip and I think that it makes plenty of
noise. Neither of these works like a sure-grip (posi, LSD, whatever) but is
is another way to get traction to both rear wheels, a LSD is smoother and
quieter for normal driving but does not lock the wheels together when
extreme traction is needed. It only "limits the amount of slip" .
Hope this helps,
Gary
