I have a 29 spline 8.25" that sees 90% street. It has open diffs now and I hate it. I Lose traction on a perfectly warm day around turns from a stop. I wanna do 33s soon and i want some extra help in the mud and trails. I hear detroits are durable and everything and its a full carrier replacement. But hows it act street wise? I see snow, rain, sun, mud. I may be a little throttle happy also. What should I be expecting?

I meant trac loc from detroit not tru trac sry

Not 100% sure but trac-loc is what the stock clutch style LSD is called. The only LSD that I know of that Eaton-Detroit manufactures is the True-trac, which is a torque biasing, gear driven LSD, and in my opinion the only one worth having.

Yea see I knew I was right the firat time. Yes detroit. Yes true trac. No stock lsd trac loc. Sry for the confusion. Still anyone got opinions

I have the factory trac loc LSD and its really nice to have. It's quiet and really smooth. I'm sure the Detroit is way better and for a dd that sees mostly street an LSD is perfect. You can lunchbox lock it way cheaper tho

i love the tru trac. ive put in 8 of them in tj's,cherokees and libertys over the last few years, no special additives required and no clutches to wear out, its a win win unless you need a full on locker

Lsd will do me. I dont see rocks so. I like lb lockers but I dont wanna have to get back into the diff unless I do shafts

Your still gonna have to get into the diff to install an LSD

Pnguyen7

no but i dont want to have to change clutches, rods,springs paddles or anything later down the road. I hear the trutrac will be good forever pretty much with no maintenance

eaton makes good stuff man, i have run the truetrac in my 99 sahara and my 99 cherokee before. my current one has detroit lockers. all of them have held up just fine and they have not had bad street manners either.
