Dana 44: Trac Lok vs Detroit TrueTrac ?
I've been driving the '57 a little while and decided it could use a positraction rear. A few reasons, which kind of define my goals, here:
1. If the driveway is wet, it's easy to spin the tires right through the gravel and keep spinning when I hit the clay underneath. Nothing says "Hot rod" like getting stuck in your own driveway. 2. Hit the gas hard enough, it does a one-leg burnout. I really want the truck to hook up hard. It's a 3900 lb truck with me in it, about 300 horsepower, 235/75/15 tires. Shouldn't be too demanding to make it hook up, right? I've already got a Trac Lok carrier but I bought it used and noticed a chip out of a spider gear. New gears + clutches, assuming the ones I can find will actually fit, are $200. Is the trac lok worth the trouble at $300 all in? Or is it worth the $200 more to get the eaton / detroit unit?
