    G80 failed.. best replacement

    I've never used the other so I can't comment. The design benefits are all there so I don't think it could really be a bad choice. I don't have a real reason for choosing the truetrac over it, just felt like it lol.

    Hahahaha! I can't wait to try it but I've got to get the old g80 outta the bed first that's a heavy sucker. I'll report back in a couple days,. Fwiw to the OPand others who don't have their own parts source, get seals and bolts etc from the dealer. A lot of what I sourced ,and what was...

    Halfway through day one I'm happy with the truetrac. Haven't tried any funny business yet, but slow cornering is massively improved

    The only time you'd be wrong by saying that is if one wheel is not touching the ground. With the torsen it will freespin, so add a little brake to brin things back within it's workin range

    I can't speak to hard evidence, but the AAM is listed as 2:1 and the truetrac in all sizes is listed at 3:1. If Wally is right, the 11.5 has a 4:1 but I can't comment beyond that. Wally after this is done I'll be down to hang with you haha

    No the truetrac is technically more adept at managing loss f traction when compared to the track right. The difference is probably negligible in 99% of scenarios. Technically, the truetrac can manage the torque split to a greater extent before the wheel with less traction becomes the o ly one...

    Cleaning painted rims

    Lol I just hose mine down. If I ever actually wash the truck legit I just do the wheels with the wash soap as the last step

    Yeah for me the only two options were the treutrac or grizzly. Both should live a long happy life

    There's a lot of good places , I used East coast gear supply. Im sure the aam would have sufficed for me and it was about 200 cheaper. The truetrac as a hardened case for whatever thats worth. Hybrid its really totally different than a locker in how it operates/feels. its not like the locker...

    It's no where near the size that would be required but Quattro has been turning all 4's for decades with torsens front and rear, it's a pretty rugged design especially if assembled with an application in mind. I think for the front an arb is the right choice since youd only really be using it...

    I don't think there is a trutrac for the front, not without an sas at least. I kind of associate arb with off road controlled driving not 1,000 + lb ft on the street. I'm not pulling though if I was I think the grizzly or equivalent is probably a better choice.

    Roger that. It's all in but I had to overnight a driveshaft so once that's in I'll report back

    Seemed like the right call for streetability and longevity.

    I'm actually mid truetrac install now, I'll let you know how I like it when I finish up. I've always been a fan of the torsen design :)

    "Built not bought" mentality and why it is bad

    That is what keeps us all employed, right? Lol.

    "Built not bought" mentality and why it is bad

    Well said Josh. Personally, I do what I can myself and leave the expensive parts to the pros. I'm very grateful for the knowledge here so that I can complete many things on the truck myself and it really allows one to feel proud of his work. I had no issues telling Evan the trans was out of my...

    New Trans?

    New Trans?

    That might be the point you wanted to make, but it isn't the post you made. Yeah, per usual there are other sources for parts. Some rock and some are shit, it's who stands behind them and who's got the times at the end of the day. Suncoast and many here who work with them in whatever capacities...
