Basically my rear end is totally locked all all times. The only time it unlocks is when you are at a stop and make a right or left turn. The locker disengages due to the tires rotating at different speeds while making the turn. Once through the turn and the vehicle is going straight again it goes back to full lock. Also anytime your hard on the skinny pedal it stays locked





Nope no clutches or friction plates.

Is this the same as the aussie

They work identical. The only difference is the no-slip is a better design and basically free spools around turns. The Aussie ratchets around turns which is why it's louder.

Makes since

Technically it's locked anytime you're hitting the gas, even around turns. The noslip has a better tooth design that allows it to ratchet a bit more seamlessely so its not as noticeable as the lock right when it "releases" to allow the tires to spin at different rates.

Well yea. When driving on a straight road and on the gas the rear end will stay locked. If there is a curve in the road and still on the gas then it wont unlock. When you come to a stop sign or stop light and make a left or right turn, the two rear tires will start to travel at different speeds around the turn and thats when it unlocks. But the no slip doesn't ratchet like you mentioned. Which ever wheel is on the inside will get the power and the out will unlocks. It doesn't actually ratchet like the Aussie. It opens that side of the locker and spins freely until you start going straight again (both rear tires turning at the same speed) and then re locks that side. The Aussie actually ratchets meaning the teeth on the locker open and close repeatedly around the turn when one rear wheels is moving faster than the other. When I did the spin test with both lockers installed and the rear diff cover off you can totally see how both lockers work and that the no slip is far more superior.

Sounds like a good investment to me

We should whore out Adams garage thread for a while...

My understanding of the no-slip is that it allows a wheel to freely spin faster than dictated by the driveshaft but not slower. This is different than a locker where both wheels move in lock step with the drive shaft and an open diff or limited slip where the load is balanced across the wheels and one may spin faster while the other spins slower than the driveshaft. This agrees with your statement that the no-slip drives the inner wheel around corners.

Have you experienced any adverse affects to date from the no-slip combined with the xk traction control...... e.i., what happens when the xk brakes one wheel on the axle, how does the no-slip react? Does this have any ill effects at the other end of the axle??????

[07JeepXK]

I'm not sure if it allows a given tire to spin faster then the drive shaft? I didn't even know that is possible?!?


No adverse effects with the no-slip since it has been installed. It is literally transparent for daily driving. No traction control issue either. When off road, the traction control shouldnt brake one of the rear tires because there is never a time that one rear tire is moving faster then the other because the no-slip is at a full lock. Especially in 4 low with your foot on the gas. I've notice since the no slip has been installed the traction control really doesn't kick in at all due to the crazy amount of traction I'm now getting with the locker and aggressive mud tires
