just got my truck back from body lift, gear swap and true trac install and i gotta say man what a diff.....big diff.....so far the gears are quiet as stock and no noise from the true trac. anyone know how long of a break period is good for the new gears? my mechanic said 500 miles...could this be true or is he just coverin his ****? i'm itchin to get out there but i dont want to find metal chuncks the next time i change fluid. thanks guys.

 

500 miles is what my gears said. also said to change the fluid at the 500 mile mark as well.

 

There's a professional installers recommendations on break-in here:

thanks for help guys....i'll try to take it easy. I would def recommend the true trac, it is awesome.....I took it "crawling" through some muck, 5-10 mhp, and never locked it in once and there was no slipage from the tires. I know its a LS but dam it works almost like a locker.

 

I am considering a truetrac when our factory L/S fails. I have built these for racing for several years and they are awesome. TrueTrac is like having two seperate differentials under the rear of the vehicle. What do you think the NASCAR boys run?

 

I just wished detroit made a true trac for the front
but with the new tires and gears it is 110% better

 

Hello Yadayada316,

Hows the True Trac these days? Thinking about picking one up for myself.

 

still runnin like a top........even after a small diff leak went undetected which made the gears....you guessed it.....whine like you wouldnt believe and had to get em replaced again.....well worth the money and i would recommend to anyone who drives on the street alot......ive had no problems around corners or with backlash at all.

 

yada - what gears did you put in?

 

4:56 genuine gears.....but it wasnt the gears....it was the fact that either the shop screwed up puting the gasket on or the gasket was bad.....either way the shop ate the cost of regear

 

Is the true trac pretty aggresive off road. I know it's not a locker but i was wondering if both wheels turn well in the mud and snow.

Thanks,
