Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 639150, member: 103"] The Truetrac is an excellent carrier. I've beaten the piss out of one in a decently powered truck for number of years now. The only thing to be careful of is applying moderate to heavy power while turning sharply and carrying a lot of axle weight, like with a lot of tongue weight from a trailer, as the carrier will try to do it's job of pulling both tires when it's physically impossible to do at that time. If you just keep that in mind and stay out of heavy power in those situations until you straighten back up a bit, you're good. But that's reality. It's not a problem, and it's NOTHING like trying to deal with a piece of ***ing sh*t detroit locker... Speaking of which... Infrnl, you're being a twit. First off, a truetrac will run circles around a detroit locker on the street. LEAVE IT IN THE DUST. Like whole truck lengths ahead... While the detroit locker is busy back there popping and barking, the truetrac will be gone. Just gone. I've spent my time dealing with a pos detroit locker, and it's a joke. Yet the people fond of them always have your same punk ass attitude about their pos carrier. No you didn't "pony up" for the "real" thing, or anything along those lines. You simply bought an inferior carrier for a vehicle that doesn't spend 99% of it's time offroad, at which point you should have welded the side gears or bought a freakin spool! At least then it would STAY locked, unlike a pos detroit! I have never.... and I mean NEVER had my truck open up when I was trying to put power down offroad with the truetrac. I'm not trying to hang tire and drive 1mph up a rock with my superduty. I have a 97 350 on backhoe tires for that. Does it have a detroit? *** NO..... I actually wanted it to WORK.... so it's SPOOLED front and rear. On the other hand, my superduty will lay down 600+ all day long with excellent consistency and repeatability while I slide out sideways at least 4 or 5 times a day. Unless I end up in traffic situations where it becomes 4 or 5 times a mile or so... A detroit in the same environment would be locking and unlocking constantly, banging and popping, and generally being the worthless pos it is. Hold on while I hit the power..... let off..... THEN coast through my turn.... THEN get back in the power again.... when I'm EMPTY!!! It's a joke. The detroit locker is a joke. It's a pos for the street, and only slightly less of a pos offroad. If you're such a badass in need of a real carrier for manly offroad situations, then you'd be running a SPOOL, or simply weld the side gears on a stock carrier if the carrier strength was acceptable. Lastly.... the stock LS vs a Truetrac???? You're being a moron. On a scale of 1 - 10 of engagement under hard conditions like a long sweeping turn and then under power or similar, if the stock unit ranked a 2 out of 10, the Truetrac would rank a 14... God high and mighty Detroit locker morons amaze me. The biggest pile of sh*t carrier for a high powered truck on the street, and he thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread. The only mindset dumber than the detroit locker guys are the guys with selectable lockers. They think their sh*t smells even sweeter because they can flip it to fully locked, when they don't realize that other than FULLY LOCKED.... all they have is FULLY OPEN.... now which one of those is best for laying down 600rwhp coming out of an interstate offramp at 60mph??? Idiots.... Infrnl... grow a brain. No your cock is not 6 feet long, and no you didn't buy a better carrier. I wouldn't pay you .50 for it. I wouldn't install it in anything I owned if you gave it to me for free. It's a worthless pos carrier in 2013. It's not 1950 anymore. We can do oh so much better now. [/QUOTE]
