When you get a turbo it will accelerate fine with 3.42 or 3.23

Actually they are nowhere near the same critter. The Eaton is the traditional clutch type LSD so when the clutches wear, youll get the one wheel action and the TruTrac is a gear type setup with no clutches to wear out. It either works or its broke.

Youll also need the special LSD additive with the Eaton and not the TruTrac.

Also becareful to check warrenties voids. Not sure the dia. of your tires but anything over 33 inches, (which usually refers to the off-roaders) a lot of places won't warrenty the item if it breaks.. Just a thought.

Eaton LSD or the Trutrac... you will be happy with either one of them.

And Figure out what setup your goin to go with before you put gears in it... Turbos like 3.73, 3.42, 3.23s. Supercharged, N/A, and Nitrous like the 3.73, 3.90, 4.10

You get the idea.
