from what everybody has told me that they do come posi from the factory but over time it wears out and only the power transfers to one wheel so i would go with a set of 3.73 gears. its good for the high way and the track. best of both worlds

if you are only spinning 1 wheel the clutchs in the rear may need replaced.

posi did start as a chevy term but it is just easier to use since everyone understands what you are talking about when you say it. if you say trakloc alot of people look at you like wtf is that
