Stock 10 bolt holding up to launch???
#22
Maybe, kinda sorta. Depends on the condition and miles on the unit. I would run far away from Auburn LSD's, they have a tendency to expire more quickly than you want them too and you get to throw the whole carrier away versus just being able to rebuild it.
Most here and I find on any forum recommend the Trutrac by Eaton. I personally don't because I see no use for a torque biasing unit in something that you will never road race. I like both my tires locked together, not some thing that shifts torque back and forth depending on load, or is supposed to. I am no fan, put it that way.
Good old clutch pack Eatons work great. If it's too loose, put the 800 lb springs in it and it's pretty well a locker. The 400's are probably good enough for most people. Yeah you can burn them up like an Auburn but at least it's just a set of friction discs you can swap out of the thing and not have to replace it entirely.
Detroit Lockers or the lunchbox style like the Powertrax are usually kinda harsh for a lot of people. I like a locked rear end myself, but I don't account for most people. Yes they let you turn but they click and if it's slippery it won't want to unlock at all. Shouldn't be a huge deal in Texas though.
I don't know you or your driving style. No one on here can tell you what you want, just what to expect and from that you pick what you want to live with. I like lockers or really tight LSD's, but the next guy would freak out and flip his truck in a snow storm with one. Different strokes........

Thanks Smokeshow, I was hoping you would chime in here, one question tho, how are you only getting a 1.8 60'??? I am running a 1.7 with way less power... I am only at 5150 lbs with me in my reg cab lightened up...
But choice of locker and LSD is hard... Each to their own for each style.
Thanks for all the input guys
