Lockright Locker vs Lockright no-slip

What are the differences? I heard the no-slip has better on-road manners but I can't justify the extra 100 bucks or more.

That's probably about it. The main difference is the design of the lockers and the No-slip uses the SynTRAC system which is a newer design that reduces the sound of the clutch engagements of the locker, therefore making it quieter. Both are easy drop in lunchbox lockers.

yeah the No-slip is alot better on road. It uses SynTrac tech which makes it managable on the road, well more managable. I used to have a full detroit and I HATED it on the road, loved it off road though. If I was you I'd pay the extra 100 bucks, its worth it too me....

Ok well, I'll now have to ponder whether I want to take back my lockright and exchange it for the no-slip.

from what i have heard, the no slip is better... has all the offroad characteristics of a locker but has the onroad characteristics of a lsd....

I know this thread is old, but I was looking at the no slip diff, and that is definately what I want to use since my runner is a DD, anybody know where I can get the best price on one of these, and from what I hear they are pretty easy to install, will it be ok with my TRAC ssystems too?

hey...I have the regular lockright in my 93 v6 auto, and on-road, it is honestly pretty dang transparent. I dont really notice it at all. And when listening to music or whatever, you cant even hear the clicking. the only time I notice it onroad is if I goose it turing in an intersection. Other than that, no probs. Id say go for the regular.

As far as I know, they only offer a 2 pinion locker for 4 cyl. diffs. Once again, the best bet is to just swap a 4cyl (2 pinion) diff. It seems like all the smoother lunchbox lockers (aussie, no slip) are made for the two pinion.

Just use a lockright, then you get the bigger bearings and overall stronger v6 gearsets

I have heard of shops talking people out of buying the no-slip, saying they have had problems with them...

My lockright is fine on the road. I spent tons of time on the hwy and in the city..
