It already is Posi-Traction was just a name brand of limited slip. If you mean to completely lock it (not for street use) then a mini-spool or locker could be installed.

The best option is a selectable locker like an ARB. That way you can lock it all up when you want/need it and unlock it for when your on the street. Most people dont want a spool or detroit:

Air Lockers

Theyre good - no doubt about it.

About $900 per diff

It sounds to me like both diffs are open in your truck or at least the rear's limited slip isn't working. Sounds like an ARB could be a way to go or have your limited slip serviced. I'm no 4WD expert but I'm not aware of too many Dodges with limited slip front axle.

i am not positive but you would probably be better of getting a Detroit true trac. it is a gear driven limited slip will last much longer then a normal LS selectable lockers are expensive. I am not positive if they make a true trac for a dana 70 or 80.

probably just worn out clutches. from what i hear they can be set up alot better also.


BTW positraction was just GMs marketing name for limited slip, much like trac lok, gov lok, twin traction ect...

The posi name just seemed to stick though
