What options do we have for the front? I would like to have just a LSD up front and not a locker but i'm not sure whats out there. TIA |

truetrac. Really consider LSD, solid, strong and quite $390~. Also assuie list a locker for the KJ for $229, cheap but it's back ordered so not sure if it is actually released or not. Other option is ARB which would be a full locker engaged with air compresser. About $800 |

I like them alot. I first bought a set for my 2004 that my dad drives and now a set for the 05. I saw about a 1 mpg increase on both and a noticeable difference when towing. |

Thanks, I was wondering if they really do make a difference or not. |

I recently installed a Truetrac in the front and I'm diggin' it. I like the fact that it is an LSD, but without clutches. Its also a stout piece of work. |

What would be an average price to have the thing installed? I guess if you took the axle out yourself that would save you several hundred dollars? I have heard very good things about the TruTrack. $329 is a great deal |

BigHause, Don't do it at 4wheelparts, it will cost you and arm and a leg. I believe well over $400 I can get my reciepts out tomorrow for last years prices. Change the seals while your at it. Make sure they give you all of the parts back. Tru-trac is the Bomb! |

The way it sounds, the front is a killer. Do they make a truetrac for the rear? How is it a lsd but doesnt have clutches? |

I do believe they make a true-trac for the 8.25" Not sure if anyone has tried it yet, or if the ABS toner rig get in the way. They are pretty cool little units. I believe that is what the old HMMVs use to have in there axles. |

HMMVs use torsen limited slips. Torsens are similar to the truetrac in that they don't have clutches, only gears. The Torsen is a good unit and is pretty reliable. |

For a 3.7 lliter V6 engine, model number is 912A314, for a Dana 30 axle and 3.73 ratio. Nice little wonder! |
