Detroit trutrack in the front.

Anyone running the trutrack in the front? Do you like it?

 

I’ve know 4Runner folks install them. Positive feedback. Instant engagement when ya go 4wd, pretty solid. Always stronger lockers, but not terrible.
The muscle car guys have noticed a change in the Eaton unit’s spider gears not being full steel, perhaps powered metal. Not certain those are the same things, but it’s a posi traction stuff

 

I have been interested in Detroit Truetrac front and rear for a while. But I still cant wrap my head around how the front end will feel in daily driving both with and without 4wd engaged. I wonder about losses in efficiency in 2wd. Here's a guy who did it on his Tacoma.

Most of my driving is snow and forest road related so I don't really need full lockers and am not interested in one in the rear as it will detract from snow driving in some conditions IMO, compared to LSD. I do like the forget about it it just works, aspect of LSD...

If not Truetrac, I would be tempted to leave my factory LSD in the rear (and upgrade later) and do an e-locker up front. Then I retain the snow performance I am used to, but gain some for off road scenarios... So many choices!

 

Truetrac IS a torsen. So dual torsens. Kinda makes me laugh that he says it like their different.


I have a truetrac in the front of my 1st gen Taco. Works great but it has significant resistance when turning the steering wheel when in 4x4. Even in dirt/mud/snow/etc.


I have a powertrax grip pro, also a torsen, in my 2wd 1st gen and it's been great.
