PT-1921 is the part number I have saved for the locker.

EDIT: looking up that part number brought me to this listed as "GM 8.5 8.6 traction devices"

Whats the rotation count like on the powertrax no slip? I searched and really dont see much about how many rotations before it grabs

Zero. Its basically always locked, and only unlocks the faster spinning wheel.

Also, regarding the 8.5 vs 8.6 powertrax... viewtopic.php?p=22164#p22164

Yea I already checked my housing I have a mid its 1073 casting with the 2 different size holes so I am told I am good with the ns... yea I researched the lockright and thats what I saw id have to get an 8.5 housing im just glad my 8.6 had the right carrier in It.

by **DustinC1989** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:30 pm

Everything I ever read said the carrier bearings were the only difference between the 8.5 and 8.6...
Guess it looks like I've got more reading to do...

by **exb5182** » Thu Apr 03, 2014 11:44 pm

Yea I read all the same stuff I just know a company that makes money off selling their products will market all applications for their products to sell as much as they can... so I knew something had to be different. Even the 8.6 has 3 separate open carrier designs which is why the no slip listed after 07 requires a new housing. Weird thing is my axle I was told was an 08 and going by the casting number and design of the carrier I don't need a new housing. Im stoked my tires should be in tomorrow I just set up my rear ring and pinion tonight and all my ducks should be in line to finally piece it all together. Im gonna run 2wd for a week atleast bc I know I have no time to tackle that ft diff. Lol I need to break my rear ring and pinion in anyway

by **DustinC1989** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:29 am

My axle is from a 06, so if I have the 1073 casting the 8.5 lockright will work? Or am I reading that wrong?

by **exb5182** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:37 am

Lol no the lockright wont work in any 8.6 the the powertrax no slip will.

by **DustinC1989** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:45 am

I see now, So is the 1073 is the only one of the 3 that will accept the no slip? Where is the number located on the carrier?

Sorry for the thread jack, this is info that is new to me

by **exb5182** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:26 am

EARLY 8.6 CASE
USE WITH CASE CASTING NUMBER# 0749. WINDOWS ON THE
SIDES OF THE CASE ARE BOTH THE SAME SIZE 3 3/4"

MID 8.6 CASE
USE WITH CASE CASTING NUMBERS# 7875 & 1073.
WINDOWS ARE NOT THE SAME SIZE 3 3/4" & 1 1/2"

LATE 8.6 CASE
THEY ARE MADE TO FIT CASES WHICH WE KNOW AS
40048044 AND THE CASE WILL HAVE A CASTING # 8064..... the late won't work

by **DustinC1989** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 2:48 pm

Mine says 5166 :scratch:

by **exb5182** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 5:32 pm

Its on the carrier you have to take the cover off to see it

by **DustinC1989** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 5:57 pm

Mine says 1875 and 5166 near the ring gear bolts... so I'm lost

by **exb5182** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:46 pm

Hmm idk im just going off what the rep from powertrax sent me are you sure you have an 8.6

by **DustinC1989** » Sat Apr 05, 2014 2:16 am

Pulled it off a wrecked 06 EXT and it has 30 spline axles...
Guess I'll email them and see what they have to say

by **exb5182** » Sat Apr 05, 2014 10:20 am
