Review on PowerTrax 1931 LR Powertrax Lock Right Gm by John Koch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Locked up and loaded for spare parts

Everything went perfectly according to the instructions. The hardest thing is to attach the last clip, but in general it's not scary. I would rate this as a 4/10 difficulty level, with most of the difficulty coming from the overall effort of lifting the car, removing wheels, removing spacers, etc. No big deal, it just takes some time. In practice it works very well. . Your rear wheels will lock up under load, so be careful around corners and on wet roads. After installation, you need to be a little careful when cornering. This will make your rear end struggle with you a bit. So if you're fitting this into a setup designed primarily for street use, you're probably better off going with a Detroit locker. During operation, the click could only be heard when driving through a parking lot. It's barely noticeable. And off-road it's killer. It keeps power on both wheels and you can easily crawl to where you would normally spin a wheel (assuming tires aren't your limiting factor). I don't know why they are called "lunch box" lockers. I know the generic description means you can install it during your lunch break. Yeah right. Or maybe my lunch break is too short but it took me 3-4 hours on Saturday. Don't work too fast, but be careful and methodical.
