here is a link to a differential i think i am buying, to go with my new 3.73's,

detroit truetrac


i was just wondering if anyone else had it.... I am probably going with moser 31's at the same time, and was wondering some info about this kind of setup......

It is a clutchless setup for the rear that way i wouldn't have to worry about the trac-lok going out on me again.


I was also wondering what my other options are, SPOOL, MINI SPOOL, EATON, AUBURN LOCKER, please educate me some guys.... i don't want to do this but this one time....

thanks

Torsen is the originator of that design and can be had for around 450. they are kinda noisey in my experiences with f-bodies.

frpp part number m4204t31. can be had on johnbleakleyford.com for 440. i've ordered multiple times and have never had any sort of problem with them. also check out the 31 spline 03 cobra diff for 260. that's what i got and i must say it works great and isn't near as noisey as the torsen in my t/a.

I know that the Eaton is a good strong diff, and worht the money. I have been looking at that one differential that you can make a locker with electro magnets at the flip of a switch.

I have an eaton in my car. It was a little more money, but it is rebuildable. I've heard that Auburn's are not, and can only be repaired if you send it back to them. I like the Eaton, and it has kicked posi everytime, no one-wheel burnouts.

I have the new Detroit Truetrac with 31-spline Mosers. It should be installed within the next week, so I can't give you any info about it as far as street manners, etc.

It's by far and away the heaviest differential I've ever seen and it looked extremely strong. I bolted it to the ring gear and everything mounts up with the stock hardware with stock bearings. I'm not sure if it has to be shimmed differently - I haven't gotten that far yet.

I got mine through Moser....

That looks like a worm gear diff. Like what torsen makes. They are pricey from torsen (I plan on getting one when my diff. goes). Quaife makes them for FWD cars. I have never heard of true trac and so I dunno about their pricing or quality or how theirs is setup (torque bias. etc.) compared to torsen. As far as how it works...lemme tell you its freaking complicated how the power distributes and whatnot. I somewhat understand it but dont ask me to explain it. I'm studying to be an ME and I plan on taking a gear analysis and application class at school eventually maybe I'll understand it then. If you think a planetary gearset is hard (like in an auto trans)....this is worse.

Don't go with an Eaton. My brother had a Eaton explode within in a year. He's running drag radials and around 300hp. They are supposed to carry a one year warranty. When he went to exchange the first one, they wouldn't honor the warranty. crapola
