yes. . .they are the same thing.
the difference you may see with these AAM axels is instead of clutches there are worm gears. also no friction modifier is needed.

They are the same.
The different makers call them different things.
Anti-slip, posi-lock, anti-spin, etc.
They all do the same thing. They attempt to lock both rear tires on a straight run, but allow the inner tire to slip the clutch or clutch type mechanism in the rear so as to turn at the same speed without spinning the inner tire. Otherwise the inner tire would spin because in a turn, the outter tire need to spin more to cover more ground.

If he has a stock 1500, he does indeed have clutch packs.
