Q: I entered a burn out contest with my S-10 at a local show and got smoked by everyone. All my truck did was spin one rear tire. What can I do to get both rear tires to spin?

A: Jason, there is an easy fix that will have you smoking your rear tires in no time. With the Powertrax unit from Richmond Gears, you can add a positraction or locker unit to your S-10 in just a few hours. All trucks have a differential that allows one wheel to turn faster than the other when going around corners. Some trucks come with a Posi or Locker installed from the factory that will lock both wheels together when going straight but allow them to turn at different speeds when going around corners. The Powertrax unit can be added to your axle and is very easy to install with just basic tools. In addition to smoky burnouts, this unit also allows better traction in snow and mud. Richmond makes a unit to fit just about any truck.
