Hey guys I dont wheel a lot so dont make fun of me just had a diff question. WHen i bought my runner about 10 months ago the PO said it had a Detroit trutrac diff. I figured it was similar to a limited slip.. Sure enough both rear tires spin the same direction when i have the rear jacked up...but i can grab one tire (and stop it from moving) while spinning the other tire.. to me this means its not limited slip or perhaps the clutches are worn out?? if i burn out in gravel it leaves 2 tire tracks..

So am i just wrong in what a detroit trutrack is? or are my clutches worn out??

thanks guys

 

At first I didnt have an answer for ya, but then i tried a....


...GOOGLE SEARCH!

im new around here too, but simple questions can be answered easy enough by some quick research instead of pluggin up the forums

it is a limited slip, btw

 

No clutches in the trutrac, just pinions, nothing to wear out, its not a locker so one can be stopped and the other spins...

 

Sounds like a normal TrueTrac (a torque sensing limited slip diff):

And you can lock them up with the brake biasing technique.

 

jack it up and pull the E brake while the tires are spinning to load it down.... then try stopping a tire while it spins . I use the E brake trick all the time on my TruTrac in fact its never let me down so I don't see any need to replace it with a full Detroit..

 

thats a good idea man ill give that a try.

thanks for the responses guys
