Regarding the Phantom Grip...
I looked at their website, but there wasn't much info. I'm really not sure how their unit operates. First I even heard of one was today, when XHead (Fiat guy) mentioned he has experience with them.

Also, being old, I seem to recall the difference between limited slip and Posi-Traction is that Posi-Traction is a copyrighted name belonging to General Motors. I don't recall a Ford ever having Posi-Traction.

Pat

Ford had trac-lock as their trademark. Posi-trac and trac-lock are both clutch type. I think alpha is thinking of the "detroit locker" which fully locks on acceleration.. which I *think* is what the phantom grip is a variant of.
