RE: Trac Lock ?

Yes. It's the 'bottom-feeder' of limited-slip differentials commonly
referred to as a "Trash-Lock". They're available aftermarket (though anyone
buying one & installing it needs to have their head examined when there are
better units out there like Auburn and the Trac-Lock's bigger brother the
True-Trac), but are more commonly found as a factory offering (Jeep has used
them for at *least* 20-some odd years). The work well when they're fairly
new & tight, but they wear and loosen up rather quickly and also require a
friction modifier added to the diff fluid.
