    Fair Go I could get one of those for my wifes Holden Combo.

    Like when I was in primary school and used to put the flappers on my bike spokes to make it sound like a motorbike

    Detroit Trutrac vs Ashcroft ATB

    Well thanks to advice from Samo, the Ashcroft ATB "lockers" are now back in stock. The landed price for ATB and Trutracs are not that far apart - SO (putting aside the cost) WHICH IS THE BETTER PRODUCT FOR MY D2a TD5 auto?

    Interested in the topic, and wondering how difficult an installation of the trutracs would be? Obviously the prop shafts would come off, would the hubs and axles need to be removed as well? They sound great.

    They're not too difficult to install with the correct instructions and a dial gauge.
    The hubs/axles need to be withdrawn an inch or two.

    Just wanted to add to this thread that i'm in the process of ordering the Ashcroft ATB's front and back for my '99 V8 D2.
    I have the CDL selector fitted.
    Also changing to 4.12 R&P at the same time.
    And I think that R&P is a little "under driven" with my 265/75/16's
    But this car is only for play/touring, not a daily driver.
    So hopefully, it should go very well.

    You won't need gears, I'm running same and its fine.

    Fitted my ATB on Friday and after today, totally transformed the car. With the traction control effectively controlling it its the thinking persons locker. You can concentrate on the driving and not worry about if it should be on or off or if the axles & CV's will survive. Ordering a front one as soon as possible.

    It's really good to see the results of the people brave enough to not get "real lockers".......

    The TC seems to be the advantage with the atb. I think I'll be getting these too.

    Thanks for the input guys....and keep us updated on your progress and opinions those who have, or are getting the atbs.

    Cheers

    Another happy twin trutrack vehicle owner here. D2a with CDL trutracks and traction control. Front is only recently fitted - rear has been in a few months and tested. Rear is so good with TC I went ahead with the front.
