Default Lets talk about rear ends!!

Found the first defect in my truck i just bought NO POSI. Little pissed about it but o well. I bought a detroit truetrac before for my 95 silverado and it worked great too me it was like a posi did great burnouts no more one tire fire. So i called summit racing to order the same thing and they said its not sopose to send power to both wheels but to the wheel with more traction.

SO do i buy a locker that cost 600 dollars or the truetac thats 409?

Help me out guys!!!!

Thanks

What are you going to use it for? True-trac or LSD for street and mild offroad, locker for offroad only.

I assume this is for a NBS 1999-2006?

It's a 8.6 30
