The Power Trax (Lock Right) is a locking differential, not a limited slip or
"posi" unit like the Sure Grip unit you had installed. The locker
mechanically "locks", allowing no slippage at all (more desireable
off-road), where the Sure Grip unit will allow slippage in some cases (I.E.
one tire off the ground).

I didn't catch the first part of this thread but, I just had a Sure-Grip
installed in my '98 Dak's 81/4 differential for $400 at Southwest 4x4 here
in
Columbus, OH. This unit kicks. I picked my Dak up, stopped down the road a
piece and mashed the gas pedal. What usually results in a single tire
redline, was transformed into a a mild tire screech, a little wheel hop and
my head glued to the headrest as I experienced the true power of the 'Magnum
V-8'. Anyway, instead of waiting for some rip-off of a 'Dana' unit why not
find an off-road specialty shop to hook you up in no time flat, with the
original bullet proof rear-end.
