This statement from the above link has me a little cautious of this locker:
"TrueTrac differentials require a certain amount of resistance at the ground (i.e. traction) in order to start the torque transfer. A TrueTrac differential may not transfer torque if the spinning wheel is off the ground or on a very slippery surface. If spinning occurs, often a slight application of the brakes, while carefully applying power, will slow the spinning wheel enough to allow the TrueTrac differential to transfer torque to the other wheel."
I know from experience the PowerTrax does not do that. I could get one rear wheel off the ground and the other still drives me forward. I have not had personal experience with the TruTrac to know the accuracy of the above statement. |
thanks for that info, this is probably why no other limited slip has gears like this one. IIRC, they quit making the powertrax for the rear axle on my truck a while ago, and i have also read that they are not good for high horsepower and large tire applications. the only reason i want one for the front is because it would have less stress on it because it wouldn't be engaged all the time. my only other choice for the rear instead of a limited slip would be a detroit, but im just not sure yet.....
