I removed a Powertrax from my truck for the Eaton (locker to a LSD).

Now that you see my back ground here's my opinion:
The Eaton and the Tru-Trac are both transparent until one wheel slips. At that point they both seem to engage smoothly and reliably. I truely can't tell a difference between the two. I would go with which ever you can get a better deal on at that given time.
....THIS GUY IS RIGHT! I'VE OWNED BOTH AND CAN'T TELL A DIFFRENCE. IT'S JUTS WHAT YOU WANT, AND HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO SPEND.

My Eaton is still going strong if I havent made 75 passes on the 1/4 mile with it I havent made 1 plus all the abuse it gets on the street.

yup $400 does sound really nice, i'll just go ahead and wait a couple weeks then for the Tru Trac since it sounds like it's right there with the EAton. Im sure i wont be dissapointed.
