Truetrac in turns?
How does your Detroit Truetrac perform on low speed turns? Mine tends to squeal the inside tire on slow turns. With the shift kit, I also have a good chirp on the inside tire if it shifts during those turns. Backing up a trailer, the inside wheel wants to skip to keep up with the outside wheel. Doesn't seem to be much differentiation happening.

Mine will squeal with any throttle on a tight 1st gear turn. I was just wondering if this is normal operation or if I should be expecting something to break. I had the Truetrac installed in late fall when the roads were starting to ice up and the tires were always cold so I didn't really notice it until this spring. Gets me a little more attention than I want too.
The guys that installed my Truetrac said they don't like a lot of torque. Gears is all these guys do. I told them that a lot of high powered truck guys use them for racing with no problems. Could be that they are just covering their butts. They said they did some logging on my truck during their test drive. The torque output got their attention.

The G80 will usually take the gears with it when it goes. So it's less expensive to replace it before it does let go. Unless one is looking for a gear change anyway.

just to be sure, have you double checked your differential fluid? I've never noticed it in Matt's truck when I drove it, it's completely transparent just like my Eaton LSD... at least until you actually apply a little torque of course. Matt backs his truck in the garage, which is uphill and weaving around his work truck so it has some torque applied and I've never noticed a problem there either.
