Trac-Loc is a limited slip diff that uses clutch plates to limit wheelslip. It is similar to GM Positraction.

Traction-lok, posi (posi-traction) and limited slip are all the same thing. Posi is a chevy term...limited slip is a ford term.....Traction lok is the name given to Ford's limited slip unit.

Thanks a bunch. I thought it might be the same but was unsure. Now I just have to find out if it works right. On the snow when I boot it, only one tire spins. I think it should be two? am I out to lunch if they are both on ice and snow?

Could be either a worn out clutch pack in the traction lok, if you have one, or you have an open diff. A good working LS will spin 1 tire on really tight turns, but...still gives a little power to the outside wheel.

Check out howstuffworks.com for info on axles.
