I haven't heard of one person whos diff actually failed....meaning they weren't able to drive the truck. Mine was replaced a couple months ago (30+k) but only because I found a larger than normal chunk in the diff oil. Most groan, whine, or clunk. Luckily though, those that have had to tow them were few and most of those did so only because they were afraid to drive it, not because it just stopped in its' tracks. I think I'd go for the tru trac myself but I'm not about to give up my factory locker.

I guess I consider it not drivable and a good candidate for a tow truck if it goes clunk-clunk-clunk. Kind of like pulling the pin on a grenade, don't blow right away but there is a good chance it will soon .
