I really like less maintenance, so that's why I'll lean to TrueTrac. Plus, somebody in that other thread was puttin 600RWHP down. That works for me. BTW, didn't u post up in that other thread & say a couple have popped their TrueTrac's? Prior to seeing that, I never heard a peep on em.

Just as a point of reference, I've had my eaton LSD for over 75k and still lay down twing stripes without a rebuild.

True Trac Part number is 913a481. There are plenty of guys running 11s and a few running 10s with them.

It sounds the rear axle might not be square in your truck. Take some measurements and see. With a good posi, locker, torsen diff etc, even tire pressure and traction devices, it should launch pretty straight. If the truck has been lowered, chances are its not that square in the truck anymore.

Just goin off what I read in other thread. Either is an improvement over G80. Now I'm a bit unsure on which I want, but still lean to TrueTrac. I suppose I could just go to the co. ~1/4, if that, from work & see what they recommend for my app.

Honestly, if either handles more power, I'm good to go. I'm not sayin how much more.

Will the truetrack stand up to the abuse of u800 rwhp? I plan on turning the boost up to 15+ and want to be as ready for it as I can be.
