A little brake apply will get both wheels going. But stick one wheel on concrete and one in the mud and see what happens, no amount of brake apply will make both wheels spin.

As for the pic, that truck was fulltime 4x4 with a rear LSD. That driveway was on a hill and was very slimy (was raining too). I slipped off the right side while taking the turn and the end result was I pushed the whole front end off the driveway. It took a rollback an hour to free it since the line of approach was so narrow, the tow truck slipped off the side of the driveway and got stuck too. Wound up getting both of them out with a tractor.

It would have been much easier if the truck had a locker instead of an LSD, it only had one front tire and one rear tire that would turn, both of which were the useless ones.

 

Oh, God..........do we have another George C here.

So basically what your saying is that if you put my motor in your truck it would run within .05 of what you currently have? No offense, but thats stupid.

 

Regarding the truetrac and the "no offense" comment................I've never said they where garbage. I just always recommend the clutch type to people when they ask. I promise you, there are a lot of trutracs owned by many guys on this forum for the simple reason is that they asked and someone told them to do it........thats what I meant by the monkey see monkey due comment.

I just think the clutch type is better, thats all.

 

Ah, good points and I understand what you're saying.

If I were doing real offroading I would probably look into a different type of setup. E or air locking type.

For snow and dirt roads in the dc area, the trutrac is probably enough for me.

 

Eaton LSD over trutrac anyday. I've sold rear end parts for years. Can't go wrong with the eaton LSD

 

Just noticed he said 0.5 not .05
