I just installed one in my 97 tahoe. Works as advertised w/ little to no noise. I do hear a slight clunk if i go around a real tight turn, but it is very slight. Crawled right up an embankment last night in 2wd. NEVER could have done that w/ out 4wd & even then it would be a crapshoot w/ the open differential. I got tired of my wife & her mitsubishi montero sport kicking my ass in our snow covered DRIVWAY in the winter. Best $450 I've spent on a vehicle. So far the experience has been good, anyone else install one of these? I AM exited I finally have 4WD, (well 3wd but it's better than 2.) |
Really? Have one in a Dana 60 (109" LWB tho) Noisy - yep. Squirrelly no. Might be due to WB - might be due to most of the trucks Ive driven have been Lincoln'd. Once I get the SWB 90" on the road might be different - hope I wont regret going non-selectable on the rear. As always mentioned pirate4x4.com is the AR15 of the 4x4 world. Luck Alac |
I hope not. That would be a terrible reflection of these forums. |
  Not that I entirely disagree - but theres a good deal of wheat in the chaff - and thats posted around here often. What exactly make Pirate so objectionable? I could see a number. Luck Alac |
Huh, didnt realize that you could use syn? Guess with LB designs its not an issue. Eaton/Trachtech doesnt recommend syn for the Detroit - not that I used syn on my trail trucks anyway. Fluids get changed too often. Luck Alac |
Probably right. Dont drive much in snow - when I do its in a LC - selectable lockers. Luck Alac |
| I've been running one in my Silverado. People say the lunch box lockers are junk but, mine has been great. I wheel the truck atleast once a week and it's been great. After being around drag racing for awhile now, I've gone back to good'ol dino oil in differentials that see any kind of abuse. I run 80/90 wieght with the Powertrax and it's super smooth, quiet, and engages quick. :) |
