Powertrax No Slip Differential
I have available a Power Trax No Slip locking differential.
This will fit in the rear axle of any 99-06 Silverado with a 10 bolt rear end with a stock open rear differential. It's VERY easy to install, no special knowledge needed - if you can change your back brakes you can handle this.
This unit was in my truck for about 2 years (24,000 miles). There is no wear components on this locker, it's gear on gear. A few of the springs were misplaced during when it was removed, but I have a new spring pack on order - with this new spring pack this locker is as good as new.
02white6.0 from this board installed one after I bought mine and he pushed his with a Cammed and sprayed LQ9 on ET Streets without hurting this same model differential - it is tough!
This locker sells for no less than $360 on the internet brand new.
I'm looking for $250 plus $10 shipping. Local pickup is welcome.

The main reason I went with it was because I needed traction fast and cheap. It's real easy to install at home without special knowledge so I didn't have labor expense and it's cheaper in parts than a limited slip. I needed something so that I could stop getting stuck in boat launches and on wet grass (don't laugh, it happened twice ). This did the trick.

yes Ben, that's all you need.
this is not like a full spool, it's an automatic locker. When torque is applied it will lock the two sides together using the messing of gears rather than a clutch (like a limited slip)
here's the installation manual to give you a better idea:

when only light pressure is applied the gears don't mesh and they can slide past each other on one side or the other, when the pinion shaft has pressure on it it'll push both sets outward and it'll only slip to the point of mesh and you're locked.
