My Truetrac L/S doesn't have clutches to wear out either. If my 1 wheel spin control worked like it was supposed to on pavement I wouldn't have invested in a L/S. But I hate open diffs. and that's all I had on pavement.
There's a difference in the software. Here's video showing how.

I don't have a 4wd, but I do have the factory LSD. I'm pretty sure I have the clutch type as I have a 2011. It is the best factory LSD I've ever had in a pickup truck with an exception to the clunky but highly effective G80 locker in my old work truck '08 Gas Chevy 2500 HD, really loved that setup almost as good as open/open 4WD.

The Anti-spin in my '05 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins was a worthless POS, I got charge $300 or so for that option new, but found it to work as an open diff 98% of the time. Basically on the Dodge it wouldn't send any power to the wheel with traction unless you were already rolling 10-15 mph. If you were already stuck forget about it, the trick of pulling the e-brake didnt work as the 610 ft/lbs of torque easily overcame any resistance pulling the ebrake put on it.

Wonder why it worked on his 2011 and not yours? Love the way mine works. Feels impossible to get this truck stuck without really trying.

Glad you got what works for you, either way.

just trying to wrap my head around this?

you want to keep the E-locker, but also have an LSD?
if so, no go, well as far as I have ever seen/heard/used.

but I also can't figure out when you would experience this "1 wheel peel" so often that you decided you need an LSD as opposed to the E-locker.

today for example I made a right turn from a stop (at the top of a hill), my bad as I pulled in front of a car I didn't see (looked, looked again, nothing, I pull out, there's a car, go figure)
anyway, I "tromped on'er" and with an open carrier (E-locker is never on on-road) I only had a quick chirp before the traction control kicked in and both tires took hold (realistically 1 tire was held back while the other did it's job)

where are you driving, or what are you doing/driving on, that your tires are breaking loose all the time?

Mine worked exactly like his on dirt, grass or snow all surfaces where it's easy to spin the tires. But on pavement mine didn't act like a L/S it only spun 1 tire. If I was making a right hand turn at a stop sign and had to really gas it to get out there quickly, 1 tire would spin so badly the truck would barely move. Even when going in a straight line on pavement it would only spin 1 tire. With my Truetrac I don't have that problem anymore so I'm happy.

Turning or strait off the line it's only one wheel and then when it starts sensing the wheel slip it doesn't send power to the other wheel it just cuts power. Power braking I only get a 1 until I lock the rear and then I can get an 11. Nasty was there anything special you had to do when you put the truetrac in? Also do you know the part number for the truetrac?

Interesting, because I have left lots of 11s at stop signs around here!

At 400 bucks a tire I would rather not leave 11s. The more major complaint I have is that since it operates as an open diff, I hit the gas it spins the tire and the stupid traction control kicks in. It kills most of the power for a second or two so if I can get a limited slip diff to put power to both tires I won't have too many 1s or 11s when I don't want to leave them. I'm not sure how if I put the power back to stock but with 400hp and 500tqs it's way too much for one 33x12.5 tire but not so much for two of them.

This is exactly how mine behaves.
