Detroit Locker VS True Trac.

[PoliceInterceptor]

Well, looks like I'll just have to pop for a new diff. (9 inch in F100)

Question 1? Is there any diffrence other than 40.00 between a Ford Racing and a Summit Detroit Locker?

Question 2? Which would be better, a True trac (Torque Biasing, Limited Slip) or the Detroit. They are for all practical purposes the same price. I don't drag race, I do drive it hard. I do a fair amount of around town in rain (snow is uncommon, maybe once every 2 years.) My primary concern is mud and boat ramps. The truck is pretty loud, so I don't think the noise of the Locker is a concern.

TIA

I have a Detroit Locker in my Bronco. I love it. But if you're not doing any four wheeling, I'd say go with the TruTrac. Unless the electric locker is available for the 9", which can switch between a TruTrac and a locker.

Its a 2wd, so no off roading (beyond some dirt roads)

Looks like the electrac is a dana only thing.

Looks like I can also gat a "softlocker"?

A Softlocker is a Detroit. It's just an updated version. If it's 2wd, I'd say go with a TruTrac.
