Truetracs are a great option for non-Rubicons that don't hardcore rock crawl. I did 4.56 gears and truetracs front and rear in my sport. Truetracs provide traction to both wheels as long as they're both on the ground, and they transfer power faster than the BLD. I've had mine for almost one year now, driven them in sand, snow, mud, off camber situations and they are great. Half the price of a true locker, no airlines or electronics to fail either.

What's the rub w/ Truetrac's and one wheel off the ground? Does it not work when there's zero torque on one of the wheels? It needs -something- to work? I was looking at the Eaton website and it doesn't really cover that.. Just says if a wheel is spinning it will transfer.

I'm not too worried about it. I have a ton of flex and won't be doing anything "stupid" with it. Just curious.

Since you have 3.21's, the front carrier needs to be replaced when you regear. May as well throw a truetrac in there instead of buying a new open carrier.

90 for the carrier, 390 for the truetrac.

The truetrac is a limited slip, not a full locker. Unlike full lockers, it needs some type of resistance to transfer power. With a tire in the air, that resistance comes from a small amount of brake pressure.

Basically, this is what the BLD system does electronically. Senses wheel slip, and adds brake pressure to that tire to transfer power to the tire that still has traction. The benefit with the truetrac is that the BLD system will apply the brakes for you. So BLD is better than open diffs. BLD + Truetrac is better than BLD alone. And lockers are better still.

For what it's worth, I have run front/rear truetracs, front/rear Detroit auto-lockers, and currently have front/rear selectables. For my typical usage, the truetracs are my favorites. I went to selectables this time around just because I could, not because I needed them...

That's where my head is at. What's another 300 bucks when you're already in a couple thousand?

Great explanation on the LSD and BLD, my thoughts exactly. It's great to hear feedback from someone who's had Truetracs and selectable lockers. Thanks

I am speaking from personal experience. I have a 2008 Jeep JKU Sport had a dana 30 built it up and then had it bend on my I would not waste any money on a dana 30 save for a prorock 44 from dynatrac and in the mean time while you save for it run the 30 front how it is till it dies and then throw the PR 44 on the front and Rock it. I wouldn't waste the money on the dana 30 at all that my advice. Good luck

What bent, C's or tubes? And how did you know it was bent, was it visually noticeable? Usually there is a specific event that bends it, were you heavy on the gas when wheeling?

Although I agree with this statement 99% of the time, I think the OP has gotten some decent advice for his particular situation and for his use.
