Detroit TrueTrac Limited Slip - Reviews

Worked great for 2 days! |
| Date: Apr 26, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Los Angeles, CA) | |
| I have a '98 Sahara. The diff. clutches were shot so I asked my local mechanic what to do. He suggested the Detroit Truetrak since I'm on the road 90% and off the road 10%. Felt really good after he put them in but they completely disintegrated after two days. Car's at the mechanic again and I'm waiting to see how much damage it did. Gear oil leaking out of the housing so I'm thinking it took the differential gears and the housing with it when it went. Now I don't know whether or not to replace them or try something new. I'll post a follow up later. |

Jeep TJ Daily Driver Mild Build |
| Date: Sep 11, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kaiserslautern, Germany) | |
| PROS: 1. Limited slip won't break my Dana 35 or Dana 30 as easily as full-on lockers. 2. Street manners are excellent for a daily driver 3. Relatively simple installation 4. No switches, cables, air compressors, or electric doo-dads 5. No internal clutch plates to wearout 6. Relatively inexpensive CONS: 1. Not fully lockable 2. VERY slight loss of gas mileage |

True tracs in both ends |
| Date: May 23, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Cibolo,TX) | |
| I have a 2000 TJ with true tracs and 4:10 gears front an rear. I love this set up. For a daily driver/trail rig,you can not beat it. This set up gives you great traction in all terains without the hassels of being fully locked. It not only makes the street enjoyable, but tight turns on the trail are no problem either. For a simple no hassel limited slip,you can't beat this set up. P.S. the guys with ARB,S don't go any further than I can if I do my part behind the wheel. | |

Driven Daily, Daily Driver loves this locker |
| Date: Mar 13, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kansas City, Missouri) | |
| I have Detroit TrueTracs front and rear in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I have upgraded my front axle to a high pinion Dana 30 housing, Superior alloy 4.56:1 ring & pinion gears and a Detroit TrueTrac. I also improved my rear Dana 44 axle with Superior alloy 4.56:1 ring & pinion gears and a Detroit TrueTrac. These lockers are the perfect set up for a coil sprung TJ with a lot of flex. No pumps, cables, switches or bangs. When you need it is there providing equally distributed torque to the tires. If you have one wheel leave the ground you still have one pushing you through. Should you lift one tire from each axle apply a little brake pressure to lock the front or emergency brake to lock the rear. The reason for nine out of ten stars: It does exhibit some steering drag as compared to an open differential. This is not a hugely noticeable feel. The more I drive my rebuilt axles the less noticeable it becomes. This is just something that you will feel when switching from an open differential to Detroit TrueTrac. Something to consider... You can locker the front and rear axles with Detroit TrueTracs for the cost of just one ARB Air Locker. :) In my opinion, this is clearly the best setup for the off road enthusiast that drives their rig daily. You will be impressed when roads are wet or snow covered and really happy when you take your rig off road and go through what you were stuck in before. |

Great Limited Slip |
| Date: Jan 30, 2007 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Toluca Mexico) | |
| I have the True Track on the front axle and it is great, you can perfectly turn. and a slight tap to the breaks and there you are almost locked! Because of its worm gear design it can't handle much torque (33" tires maximum) It is not as good for providing traction as the Detroit Locker but definiteley it is great. Its manufacturing is great, they are so well done, that I could almost have one on my living room as adornment. this talks of the quality of the product. |

Damn good limited locker.... |
| Date: Mar 30, 2006 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kelowna, British Columbia) | |
| Installed in the front of my YJ that has a locker in the rear, this thing performs perfectly in all conditions. No noise, cant even tell its in there until you need it. There is no torque pull when turning as some have mentioned in other places. Great on the hwy, in our winter snow and ice it is fantastic. If there is a downside, its with 1 frt tire in the air, however I have a auto TH400 so to be honest I can ride the brakes and basically I have a locker at any time with no fuss. I never have to get out of my rig to engage or disengage a thing. |

Detroit True Trac Limited Slip |
| Date: Feb 26, 2006 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Onalaska, WA) | |
| I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ with 4.10 Gears and Detroit True Tracs in both ends, I wouldn't do anyhting different unless I was off road all of the time. They lock up both tires very quick. No clanks and bangs associated with standard lockers and it behaves well on the street still. | |
