Hello from The Toy Maker
Powerlocks are load sensative limited slip units with minimun drag when not under power, lock up when load applied. Traclock is heavy preload unit with minimun increase of lockup with increase of torque. Powerlock was used in the older models, with the last Dana supplied used in model 70's. Parts are available for some from Dana, the rest fom selected aftermarket sources. Dana changed to the traclock due to significantly lower mfg. cost. All traclock parts are available from Dana, as are new units. New Powerlocks are available through the aftermarket. Powerlocks are significantly stronger and hold much harder, although the torque apply feature is a double edge sword. If there is no traction on one wheel, there may not be enough torque to apply the powerlock to suppply power to the other wheel. In this case, a light application of the brakes can substitute for traction, requiring torque to overcome brakes, applying Powerlock.
I am one of those oldtimers, have been into Jeeps for over 25 years. I have a shop in Tallahassee, Florida, where I do custon vehicle work (Toy Making), with emphasis on performance, chassis, and driveline work. Enjoy your site.

COOL BEANS! Hello Toymaker!
I've been 'toying' with the idea of a locker of some type, but then I'm looking to swap up in axles so really don't want to spend $$$ on something I'll be changing in a few months. Do you have a website we can visit to see what you've got going on?
And to be honest when I saw "Toymaker" I was thinking you made kids toys not Big Kid TOYS :lol:

Sorry, I do not have a web site at this time- can not justify the increased overhead. However, if the "Attachment " function on this board was activated (hint-hint), I could post some pics of what I am doing.
I usually call it Adult Toys, but that gets its own share of confusion.
Thanks, if you want I can be e-mailed at mudrat@therange.com.
