Trac locks came factory in jeep cherokee's and Dakota's so they are designed for street driving with improved traction. I have one in my jeep and soon one in the barracuda.

they were built for fuel mileage, no drag like a posi-trak unit.

I fail to see how lsd helps fuel mileage? Lot of guys racing with suregrips which operate off similar setup as a track lock..

Of COURSE it helps. After you buy it, you don't have so much money for gas!!!

I've had a Trac Loc with 3.55 gears in the 8.25 in my 70 Duster for several years now. It's a good light duty LSD for street use, especially when cost is a consideration. It is completely transparent in operation and you'll never even know it's there until you call upon it to leave a couple of black stripes on the pavement. If you're going with a used unit, you'll need to verify the axle spline count, the later units, mostly after 97 are 29 spline and all of the earlier ones are 27.

I found a nos 27 spline for 250 with the ride. Thanks for the info!
