I recently put (2) bottles into my 8-3/4 with a rebuilt Eaton powerlock. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

It makes sense in a clutch type unit, but a cone diff is always metal to metal. What about a Detroit Locker? Thats another mechanical/ratchet type with no sliding parts: Its either locked OR open....

An open (standard), locker (ratchet) or worm gear (torque senstive) differential does not require the additive because their internals do not slip. Contact info

I remember Dennis telling me the name of the aftermarket stuff was "something punch" So, a 4 ounce bottle of the stuff mixed in for a new/rebuilt Power Lock?
