8.25 Trac-lok Differential/Locker replace
Hello,
I have a 1998 Dakota Sport 4x4 5.2l with a Trac-Loc LSD 8.25 differential. Spider gears are chipped and I do not want to take the carrier out deal with the clutch packs. Is there a locker/PowerTrax No-Slip Traction that will drop in to replace the spider gears?
Here is a picture of a similar diff:

This is the PowerTrax I was hoping would work: No-Slip Traction System part #9203822905

I get paid extra to be the bearer of bad news. 
Grab a service manual for your truck. One from Bishko, don't bother with haynes, or chiltons..... You can generally find 'em on ebay for 25 or 30 bucks for a pdf download. (if you can't find one for free somewhere.....) Read thru the procedure for doing the clutches a couple times, so you know what you are getting yourself into, and what other tools you may need. It's stinky, but, doable in your driveway.
