Forgot to add that my truck is a 4x2. This may change
some options. I read this in a review of the
PowerTrax No-Slip:

"A bit of understeer can be felt in certain
situations, particularly on a winding road or a
highway exit ramp, where a turn may be taken while
still under moderate-to-full throttle. If the throttle
is not relaxed or is re-applied quickly during a turn,
the two rear wheels will both get power and will
attempt to push the vehicle straight. A slight
steering correction will be required -- this takes
some getting used to, but again, careful throttle
modulation can practically eliminate it if you so
desire."

What I'm looking for is better traction in snow, rain
and light mud situtions.
