The nice thing about limited slip is even in the situation where you might need a locker you still get some power to both wheels, but usually one ends up with more than the other.

I think the real benefit of the trutrac lies with it needing 0 maintenance whatsoever since it's fully mechanical and doesn't use any clutch packs.

Haven’t posted a pic of my ’02 XLT here yet as it was nothing special. Stock … no mods. But I had some new wheels put on it yesterday. Not sure what I’ll do to it next … we’ll see. Maybe fix the back door latches as both are stuck.



I never was a big fan of black wheels, but with the raised white lettering and on a silver truck, I think I like it.

What are they? Do you have a closer pic?
I can't find any 7.5x17" for my truck!

That's cause the only 17x7.5s you are gonna find are the stock ones lol. I think the narrowest aftermarket 17 inch wheel in our bolt pattern I have seen is an 8 inch.

Take a look at THIS POST.

And yes, 7.5" will be difficult if not impossible to find in an aftermarket wheel. Is there some reason you're stuck on this width?

Too much shine on the tire thanks to the Discount Tire guys. But it’ll wear off.

I am probably a dumb *** to believe the tire joint but was told that anything else and I would need to change to a different side tire and/or trim the wheel wells etc.

Never really researched it. Probably easy if I did.
