I read that as a global description of truetracs, meaning: You can use these in front or rear, as was being discussed in previous posts. Im working on verifying if that exact unit is compatible with where I want to install it.

[OK, lets try this again...]

I was an "expert" back in my wrenching days. So please don't be offended by my asking you to listen up: A Eaton/Detroit Tru Trac is *NOT* a "locker". It is never "locked"; ever. It always has a "give", for lack of a better term. Through a series of spider gears it merely transfers up to 40% of the axle torque to the spinning wheel. It is a widely accepted and proven technology. It does not, can not affect steering. The only way you'd even know it's there is if you got stuck in that "same old spot", again. But this time you would be able to get out on your own.

Back in '83 I was a member of Nor Cal Scouts, I had a '73 Scout II with a Detroit LOCKER in the rear Dana 44. I was able to go pretty much wherever I wanted to. But when I installed a Tru Trac in the front Dana 30, it made me feel like I had super powers, because almost no one was able to go where I could. Being able to advance on a trail with 1 or more wheels off the ground at any given time is an absolutely awesome feeling. I went places Jeeps feared to go! (100" wheelbase Scout)

You should look into them. Not necessarily to buy one, but to know what they do and how they work. If I had the money, and nothing else to spend it on, I'd love to get a Tru Trac for the F150. But realistically, how much can I really do with a 145" wheelbase? So, it's at the bottom of my list - but it's still on the list! I too would like to know if Willard5.0 got one.

No answers. Maybe after the holidays.

Just received an email stating that the truetrac for the rear 8.8 will not fit in the front IFS 8.8. So, currently the only option for the 31 spline 8.8 is the Wavetrac LS unit. Plenty of options for the 28 spline 8.8, but none for the 31 spline.
