A key feature of the POWERTRAX® Extreme Traction System is that it installs easily in the existing differential case so there is no need to realign the ring and pinion gears. 2-pinion differentials are the easiest to install and do not require removal of the case. 3-pinion and 4-pinion differentials use split cases, requiring case removal. However, because the case is not replaced, all setup parameters are preserved so the installation is still not difficult. The entire installation can be completed in about an hour with basic tools. No special setup is required. At special events, Powertrax demonstrates the ease of installation by installing the POWERTRAX® Extreme Traction System in prepared vehicles in under 5 minutes.
Limited-slip/posi and centrifugally activated differentials can be as easily upgraded with a POWERTRAX® Extreme Traction System as can open differentials. When upgrading a limited-slip/posi differential, it is only necessary to remove preload springs before removing the spider gears, and to remove the friction plates after removing the side gears. For centrifugally activated differential upgrades, it is necessary to remove the governor counter weight and tumbler assembly before removing the spider gears (GM Gov-Lock). POWERTRAX® provides a special tool with each centrifugally activated differential model that easily facilitates this step.
Please click on the literature link below to access the RICHMOND LITERATURE & INSTALLATION PAGE. Here you can access a Powertrax® Installation Guide. The installation procedure described is typical of many differentials, however our installation manuals are very model specific so this manual is not intended for actual installation purposes.
