Well I'm glad I searched before I made my own thread on this exact question. Driving home from work tonight that was all that was on my mind. I really would like to know how the Tru trac is worth the extra $$$$ over the one that is identical.

Cant speak on the difference between the two but I installed the value trac based on what I'd read here and speaking with Ron. Lock up seems smooth and consistant. Doesn't appear to push or chirp while manuvering in tight parking lots. Its amazing the difference between the G80 in reference to how quickly it unlocked while swinging the rear end out. Oh and my favorite so far is no clunking or banging when locking or unlocking like the G80.

Now if the US 3.90's I received didn't whine between 40-50mph under light throttle after being setup properly and good patterns 3 seperate times. (probably just my luck by trying to be a cheap ***) Guess its time to break down and purchase a set of OEM gears.

Any others?
Im also looking at 3.90s im not sure what i want yet, does ron sell any other 3.90s besides US gears?

This don't sound like a bad deal to replace my g80 with in my z. I hate that damn g80. I have a true trac which I love in my 99 but I can't find another one for the price I paid for that one.

How much are the value tracs?

IIRC he offers Motives in 3.90, don't think 3.90 is an OEM gear option. I recommend PM'ing or calling him to verify.

Yeah im not sure what gear i what yet,but im pretty set on the valuetrac ive been searching all over,with all good reviews but some don't like the name,i guess a value trac does sound like a POS,but im pretty sold on one.

3.73 and 4.10 gears are available in OEM stock; unfortunately the oddballs like 3.90 and 4.30 are available only from aftermarket manufacturers, and can be hit or miss depending on what differentials your truck has.

I love my US Gear 3.90s. I had US Gear 4.10s for 5 or 6 years before I finally broke some teeth off the ring gear.

I have had my Eaton posi for 8 years and it still works perfectly. I was worried about the clutches in it wearing out, but obviously that has not been an issue.

Sorry to get slightly off topic...
