Really sure about that Locking Diff? 200 1981

posted by  someone claiming to be Roj on  Fri Oct 22 13:44 CST 2004 [RELATED]



The TrueTrac isn't a locker, it's a gear type limited slip and considered too mild for use by most 4x4 enthusiasts who prefer either clutch type or true lockers.

When it comes to LSDs, the Detroit TrueTrac is considered the Cadillac, providing almost seamless transfer of power from one side or the other. They are supposed to be much better than conventional clutch type LSDs for light duty passenger car applications.

I know the LSD will alter the handling characteristics of my car somewhat and may take some getting used to but I definately want to give it a try. If I don't like it I can always go back to an open diff but most people who have the TrueTracs really like 'em.

So did you find the 175 tire ok on your 240 for winter ? How did they compare to 185s or 195s in most conditions. Better in some, not in others ?
