I've had a g80-it shattered, had an auborn clutch style-shattered it, had a truetrac- lr quit spinning on burn outs, the gear had worn itself into case on the left side. Took 20 minutes of chiseling the case to get the c-clip out. I now have a mini spool.

 

since when was the trutrac considered the best?

 

do the eaton clutch pack style with the 800lbs springs

i already went threw one tru-trac on my second one which i think is on its way out

 

How is that unit for a daily commuter? I read it can be a little harsh in the corners. How often does the clutch pack need to be replaced?

 

Man I have beat the **** out of my true trac (now belongs to someone else) for like 30k+ miles and never a single issue. Maybe you guys are experiencing user error.

 

Looking at picking up a used trutrac, what are some things to look for? Hoping that if there was some sort of manufacturing defect it would have failed in the first 10k or so, and buying a used one works out.

 

I have no regrets with the Eaton Posi I put in about 10 years ago. Clutches are still holding great. I did have to replace the spider gears with some hardened Yukon replacements after breaking a few of them at the drag strip. It's been great since then. Since the engagement is based on input torque, the more power you make, even at light throttle it will be coupled in turns. It was perfect around town when the truck was H/C LS1 but with my current setup, it will scuff the inside tire when making a right and accelerating. Engagement is very predictable though.

 

i think the clutch unit is what i'll go with then, i just want to put something back there and basically forget about it

 

i beat the hell out of my tru-trac and couldnt hurt it. had it out multiple times for gear changes and everything looked great. I'm sure whoever stole the rear end out from under my truck is enjoying it now lol.

 

i dont really know never had one but i only use my truck as a toy on the weekends and at the drag strip its not a DD so that wouldnt really bother me to much
you wont regret it i wish i did the clutch pack style from eaton
