Powertrax locker USERS!

I am looking at purchasing a Powertrax locker but i have not come across any forums where someone has put one in a dana 60 with 2wd. The only ones i have read have been put in 4x4s with 36" tires. I need to know if a Powertrax locker will be good for my 2wd with 235s. I dont go offroading, i just want some more traction and a more epic burnout. So does anyone use one on their 2wd?

Not exactly what you asked, but a friend of mine put an Eaton Limited Slip in his Moser 12 bolt in his Camaro and absolutely loved it.

Sorry, i was being rushed when i posted it. I just need to know if anyone has experience using a Powertrax locker in a 2wd for just normal street use and the occasional burnout.

gonna suck big time on icy /wet roads. when both tires spin the rear comes around real fast. Good for burnouts but not something I would do.

i put one in my 95 caprice and and it worked great but it made the car real squirly wet or icy or dry .it made all kinds of noises so i would not use it for any daily driver . oh yes you can do burnout really good as with sideways slides .

ARB or some other selectible locker. Detroit works just like power trax.

ARB or Auburn ECTED get my vote, had them both in the jeep, ARB in the front, ECTED is limited slip and was very street friendly. Yes I had 36" Swamper IROK's! I have a friend the has a jeep tj with 60's front and rear with ARB's and no issues on the street, he's sittin' on forties!
Other than the handling characteristics of the powertax it's a great piece of equipment (had the lockrights in my cj, never drove it on the road in the winter but in good weather it handled ok) I never broke one but broke just about everytnhing else on that jeep...lol.
