True aftermarket limited slip differential solution for the Titan

markislive78 · 11-28-2004, 07:16 PM

Hey Guys,

After relentlessly searching the internet I have found a vendor that can provide us with a true limited slip solution for our 2wd drive trucks http://www.tractech.com . No more one tire spinning bull ****. According to this document http://content.sema.org/images/pdf/33479.pdf Tractech sponsored a Titan in a SEMA auto show outfitted with there Detroit Truetrac differential. I emailed Tractech for part number info and so on....It will be nice to see what my Titan can do with both tires committed to turning. Especially after that Kenne bell supercharger comes out...You know one can only conclude Nissan never developed the Titan rear end differential from a performance stand point only a safety point of view. Even if you have VDC...VDC only works with the open diff by slowing down the engine in order to regain traction. If you are looking in on this from a performance stand point you would much rather want the engine to keep rolling and the torque to be balanced to the wheel/wheels that can grip
And for us guys with out Electronic Limited slip (which only works in 4 Lo), VDC or 4wd this mod could greatly increase tread life due to that inside tire no longer spinning helplessly out of control in low traction environments. I e-mailed tractech for part numbers and what is involved in converting over.

Here are the details.......

Detroit Truetrac®
Uses pairs of "Helical" gear sets
Gears only - no clutch packs.
Ideal for 4WD front axles or rear axles, as well as 2WD; light trucks, SUV’s, cars.
Rugged yet smooth and quiet.

Torque bias ratios of 2.5 to 3.5:1 range.

What I email Tractech.......

Tractech,

According to the attached document your email address was listed as a contact for information on truetrac differentials. According to a SEMA show and this Document a few Nissan titans were outfitted with a Detroit truetrac differential. I own a 04’ Nissan Titan 2wd SE and I am looking to replace my stock open diff with your Detroit Truetrac differential for more traction in preparation for a supercharger install. What exact part numbers would I need and how long do you think the average conversion for something like this take? Any Info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

Awsome! Please keep us informed.

-Good Job!

If that's anything like a Detriot Locker I'll keep waiting. Those things are horrible on the street. The ratcheting going around corners is bad enough but in the rain it's dangerous. Still, it's good to see more and more parts being developed.

Damn. Am I getting senile or is this thread posted on here multiple times?
If so, Mark, you may want to delete some of them.

No it's not a locker it is a very reputable limited slip. that will put our stock open config to shame.

I guess I don't have your vast experience on how things are done on this
site. I don't remember ever seeing anyone post the same thread in multiple
locations, on purpose.

I only mentioned it so you could consider deleting some of them. You
may also want to review the forum rules, since you make it apparent
in this post that you don't understand them.

Get the blower & the Detroit LS installed, make a few runs at the strip, and report back.

I deleted all the other duplicate posts and will continue to do so as forum rules dictate.

Keep us posted. I would like a locker... bad! Desert season is in full swing and I can't go too far out in the 'deep end.'

FLA-Titan · 11-30-2004, 01:40 PM

I would be interested in it also.

GETSOMZ28 · 11-30-2004, 04:10 PM

Neat! So how are you going to overcome the VDC?

GETSOMZ28 · 11-30-2004, 04:12 PM

You could probably use different gearsets with this LSD too!!

markislive78 · 12-01-2004, 04:41 AM

Scott,

I have a SE model w/out the off road or big-tow packages so no VDC here. Can't you turn off the VDC when you want to play? Yea i have diif gears then you.... i have the eqiv of 3.73 on a 4 speed i may upgrade to 3.35's (4.11 eqiv on a 4 speed) but 3.73 are still a good gear for peformance.

Cheers....
