In my experience, no TC turns a Trutrac into an average LSD. fitted to a TC equipped vehicle it gives them formidable offroad performance.
I went with Detroit rear and open front, and a winch to help me if I really get stuck. It was only really fitted when I bought the offroad campertrailer to aid in traction on sand, rocks etc. It has done this brilliantly, I have maxi axles also.
My level of backlash with the detroit is annoying, (LT95 and Isuzu so I am behind the 8 ball in THAT department:o :() but I have learnt to drive around it.
I think a Td5 will be less problematic due to the 'soft' throttle. BUT I have been aware of a Detroit fitted to a Puma, very 'jerky' at low speed manuevering:mad:

Detroit fitment to a Sals takes an hour or less, front ban-go rover diff about 3 hours all up.Quote:

Google "installing a locker". There are dozens of YouTube and other posts giving you a blow by blow education on the process. If you can get your hands on a service manual that will give you the schematic of the diff. After you watch and read until you are satisfied, you'll know if it is for you.

OK, so I'm off in the bush.
I go through a river-bed and the only exit is an uphill axle-twister with loose shale.
I know that a standard 1989 CSW will never make it without SERIOUS run-up and revs. If at all.
(The scenario above has been in many nightmares.......:eek: )
What will work best?
I had the notion that True Tracs were OK with the standard axles, but a locker, including a Detroit needed upgrades axles. Is that right?Quote:

Stop playing and just fit full manual lockers. You are spending close to the full thing any way so you may as well save that bit longer and have the real deal I think.
I fitted the rear up first and when I broke the front end I fitted the front locker.
Yes LSD's are good, in Nissan Patrols, but paying for one to be fitted to me is half way. If you lift the wheel of the ground you loose traction. Some have said well we aren't using your car for that extreme terrain well if the wheel is not coming of the ground then don't worry about traction aids at all and fit a winch.
For those with TC it is enough if you aren't interested in lifting wheels.
Some one asked or mentioned TC in reverse, I have been in a 110 Puma reversing on two wheels, the TC works in them pretty well.
Just my thoughts though.
