Sport S Build - Trac-Lok Anti-Spin Rear Diff

[eternus]

No problem! Yes, I've seen many manual Overlands In Transit or On Dealer Lot that have it. The salesman at a local dealer can't get an answer from his FCA rep. The weird thing is I don't notice anything keeping someone from ordering a manual plain Sport with Trac-Lok.

Well it does say it explicitly in the Order Sheet:

ANTI-SPIN DIFFERENTIAL REAR AXLE (DSA)
- N/A W/AJQ (Max Tow Pkg)
-DSA N/A 23S (Manual Transmission Sport S)

It IS weird that it's available with the 23B (Manual Transmission Sport)

interesting, i was at a dealiership today trying to order a 23B or 23S. 23B wasn't available. 23S he couldn't select the TracLok and his answer was "FCA hasn't paid the suppliers, not in stock/available yet like the trailer brake controller"

idk about this... anyone actually taken delivery of a Gladiator with TracLok?

I've seen Gladiators with traclok on the lot, but they didn't have Max Tow.

Rubi Axles, Max Tow package, have a different spline count and the traklok doesn't fit. You're not going to get the two together.

Years from now, when an owner of a used Gladiator goes into the auto parts store to buy axle/brake parts, I foresee this conversation happening:

Clerk: "So you have a Sport model?"

Owner: "Yep, Sport."

Clerk: "Wide axle or standard?"

Owner: "What?"

Clerk: "Do you have the wide track or standard track axles?"

Owner: "I have no idea what that means. How would I find that out?"


This is not going to be an issue on any trim except the Sport. So guys...if you ever sell your Sport model to another person, leave a note in the glovebox! Lol.

Yah, I'm all too familiar with the difference at this point. The previous poster whom I was responding to was suggesting that there was NO TracLok out there because FCA didn't pay their vendor. Cuz... sales people say stupid stuff.

I was having the lack of limited slip/locker on the Max tow discussion with a friend. We are both planning on buying Gladiators when Gator green is released. He pointed out that the "Brake Lock Differential" (as FCA calls it) would work fantastic with a Torsen or TrueTrac. Torsen does not appear to have an app for that (C clip diff). However, assuming it is still a 30 spline axle TrueTrac does have an app for the 3.92+ gear carrier.

Follow up. Looks like the Rubicon axles are 32 spline rear.

Attempting to have an overland custom-ordered, but they are concerned adding the trac-lok would make the order take a significantly longer “waiting until next allocation”. Anyone else heard about this?

Manual transmission if it matters.... I’m seeing the trac-lok is “better than nothing”, would mostly be concerned with snow and winter driving.
