Truetrac in Titan - Review

Yes.

The Truetrac is much MUCH stronger and more stout than our OEM differentials. There are 900hp drag Mustangs using Truetracs. I did a 2 wheel burnout today on dry pavement, with 37" tires... no way would I have attempted that with the OEM diff, either 2 pinion or 4 pinion.

There were a couple minor issues with this beta unit. Those issues should be resolved by the time Detroit releases these for sale. Assuming they are resolved, all you'll need to do is buy a Truetrac and take it to a shop to have it installed. Bearings and axle oil seals can all be reused.

If you're a 4x4 with an OEM locking diff, you might need a short M14x1.5 bolt to plug a hole in the diff housing caused by removing the diff lock position switch from the housing. If you had to buy this bolt yourself, you should expect to spend at least $0.50 or $0.55. Not a big deal.

Sweet review! I can't even begin to say how HUGE this is for us Titan enthusiasts!

Once again... thanks for all that you have done, Austin. Most appreciated!

I can't wait to get one of these installed!

thats awsome....someways better than a locker for traction...lockers can't shift tourqe to the wheel with traction....engine works less

Yes, the Truetrac will work in 4x4 or 4x2 Titans.

Offroad, non-offroad, big tow, non-big tow... doesn't matter.

The Truetrac does not change your gear ratio - your original ring gear is unbolted from your OEM diff carrier and bolted onto the Truetrac carrier.

I took my order up to the part where you add your credit card info and the handling charges for ground shipping (to my location) was $9.50. They are also out of stock and stated it wouldn't ship until 4/1.

I took it that far just to see the total cost shipped.

I'm going to hold back until I know for sure I have the exact part number needed for this mod.

The part number posted above is the same number my unit shipped with - 913A582.

I'd hold off ordering from Summit, though. My guy at Detroit is the aftermarket sales manager, and he's said he'll work us a deal. I bet he can beat Summit's price. Besides, Summit can't get them until Detroit ships them, and you'll know the day that happens.

maybe austin can get us a good deal through his source.........thanks austin....you the man!!!

Austin, now wheres that two wheeled burnout video you promised?

Very nice. I don't have any doubt he can beat Summit's price.

Austin, do those mb wheels stand up to off road use (mild to moderate trails)?
I really like the look man. Congrats, on the truetrac, what a great product.

So far, they haven't been damaged at all. I've done a whole bunch of mud, some 60 mph bumpy trails (with some good whacks), and a couple curbs at probably 15 mph or so. They seem to be strong enough to stand up to what I'm asking of them.

Is there any break-in period recommended on the Tru-Trac ? early fluid change? (e.g., similar to the stuff in the Titan manual regarding towing, etc.)
