Re: Detroit Truetrac Differentials

I have about 500 miles on one in my K5. Haven't tested it on the trail yet. I noticed right away I can feel both back tires biting when I am going slow and turning sharp - like when parking in a gravel lot. Not sure if it should be doing that but I like the feeling of having both back tires pushing.

Had the work done at Randy's Ring and Pinion. It's what they recommended. I believe the concept is that the engagement is gradual like clutches but doesn't wear like friction surfaces would. A mechanical engagement but not slamming on/off like a G80 gov-loc.
