Yeah, I'm looking at the Powertrax No-Slip locker for my truck, but before I
have to print up a few new C-notes I think I've decided to wait and see
exactly how hairy things are this winter with the open diff and some weight
in the bed. The Powertrax is about $400-$425 for Dak applications --
probably about the same or less than an LSD after installation costs, based
on what I've heard from other DML'ers. I think someone got up to around $600
total for the LSD, but maybe that was with new gears too?
