I recently purchased a Detroit Truetrac for the front of our KJ. Got a real good deal at OffroadToyStore.com, it was $329.95 with FREE shipping! http://www.offroadtoystore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DL-912A314&Category_Code=CAT-Drivetrain-Lockers-Detroit |

Thanks for the info libby! I'm interested in one of these, does anyone have experience with a Detroit True-trac in the KJ that would like to say what they think about it? Rick |

A while back Darby Walters reported a shipped price from Reider Racing of $310. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=173 Their prices may have changed by now, though. |

I love my true-trac in the front. I walk up stuff I used to have trouble with. Makes it more fun to wheel when you don't have to struggle as much. |

That $310 is no longer good. Called Reider just before I ordered it, they said $357 plus shipping. |

Any correlation between traction difs like this one and failure of the front dif casing? |

No correlation, stock set ups blow housings also. |

What causes the diff to blow is the amount of torque put on the housing. Like when bouncing or you get in a really tight bind. |

Does anyone have the Truetrac up front with a Powertrax in the rear? How is the winter driving with this combination? |

If i bought this how much would it be to have installed? I know its a lot more work that the powertrax. Chris |

Chris There are good posts in the Tech Articles Section on How to do it yourself. Having a shop do it could get pricey!... I've done my own twice now. Just take your time and follow the directions. I'm no mechanic either! |
