New limited slip differential system known as "Ultra-posi"...

Improved Traction Control
Most of the Benefits of All-Wheel Drive in a Light Two Wheel Drive System

Of all the technologies I had a chance to test out at the Eaton drive event, the one that most impressed me was their new limited slip differential system known as "Ultra-posi." This technology is so new, that Eaton doesn't even have any buyers for it yet, but based on my experience, it won't be long before it becomes a hot commodity. Why you ask? Simple, it provides the performance and benefits of an all-wheel drive system in a two-wheel drive package. It may sound strange, but when I drove it up a steep incline where one wheel was on ball bearings and the other on solid ground, the difference between the Ultra-posi being engaged and not engaged was the difference between being stuck on that slope and making it all the way to the top.
