Thread: Truetrac for the front

Biggin,

My personal thoughts for a 4 wheel ETC equipped vehicle like the D2 is TT front and rear. The ETC effectively almost locks the TT and is much kinder on halfshafts etc.

I have fitted a few D1's with twin TT's and even without traction control they transform the vehicle.

I have just fitted TT front and rear to my D2 ... I went TT instead of Detroit in the rear due to what JC said above .. much kinder than a full locker or unlocker like the Detroit ..

How the Truetracks are they on wet / snow and mudd ?

You'll need a dial indicator, measure backlash prior to dismantling, loctite, some goop for resealing, I prefer 3 bond and a gasket and some mechanical nous, as you have to preload the carrier bearings by feel, so an understanding of tapered roller bearings and how they should "feel", new carrier bearings, diff oil and beer

Oh and a home made C spanner is preferable for carrier bearing tensioners, but can be done with a pin punch or similar

Diff set up

Thanks JC. 2 x TT it is.
Thanks for the tips Rovercare. Time to purchase a dial gauge perhaps. I don't suppose a vernier would do the job.

You will regret it - spending all that money for a lsd in the rear when you could have had a locker for about the same price .
