Post ur thoughts on a powertrax no-slip trac system??

i was reading up on it an it says that it's good for highway and strip...i always wanted a locker but i've always heard that when ur goin down the highways an ur coming to a small curve or turn that is doesnt disengage and still trys to pull forward and that if its wet it can lead to ur rear end losing trac and sliding... i hear that they woked these probs outta this locker and i was wondering if any of yall have one and if yall have noticed anything that may be a negative an if ur satisfied wit it ...i do hear that are stronger than a reg posi and last longer so if they can figure a way to get it to work right on the highway it'll be a dream.... thanx for the help

Its a good setup, easy to install (especially when the diff is out of the car.) Mine is giving me some problems, don't know why yet, but don't let my example decide your mind. It causes hard engaging of reverse, sometimes I even chirp the tires just shifting into reverse
