True Trac review

kartman · 06-13-2006, 10:24 PM

First a pic of the TT in case it hasnt been posted yet

I have had the TT in for 5 days now but got a chance to really beat on it over the weekend out at Plaster City on the MDR race course.

My tires are too heavy to lay dual tracks off the line on pavement. But when I put one tire in the loose and one of street and punch it it really hooks up and the street tire leaves 10-15 foot patch of rubber.

Out at PC I took on a desert race course that was nothing but whoops loose silt and very deep soft sand. Right before the S/F there is a real nasty whooped out soft sand section with a short off camber uphill climb. The whoops are too fast to just rely on pure speed to carry you over so you have to go slow and there is no rom to build speed before the uphill. The truck cruised right through and up the hill. I have no doubt that with the open diff I would have just buried the truck in sand.

On the street it allows you to pu down the power sooner geting alot more speed mid corner and on exit. I really notice it with the swaybar removed. When I first removed it the body roll would lift the inside rear tire and powering out of the corner was a waste of time. Now it just hooks up, no slip and just rips out of the corner.

Money well spent both on and off road.

D@mn I hate reading stuff like this, I'm going to have to spend money I don't want too. Thanks for the review.

Had mine installed yesterday and I agree, It does hook up . I needed mine for pulling my boat out of some steep ramps. I tested on a 4x4 only ramp out of Phil Foster Park here in WPB at low tide and it worked beautifully. Normally I would have to have the family sit in the bed to pull it out on this ramp, but now she just hooked up and away she goes. Definatley one mod that everyone should get. Oh why didn't Nissan do this in the beginning?!

I beat you to it in the other thread he asked. But good call

Didn't know if it looked any different than the old set up from the OEM version,...diff cover, housing etc...Everything hidden inside the shell of the old set-up? The picture shown of the TT is all internals? No part shows on the outside, driveshaft side? In the 1st post picture, is that drive shaft side up?
Bear with me, I'm no gearhead. Gotta ask somebody or I will never learn. Didn't know I'd be learning this much about diffs when I bought the truck, unfortunately.

Vyrus · 06-18-2006, 07:05 PM

The TT is not an entire differential, it's just a new carrier. So you don't see any differenc from outside the truck. You would only know a truck has the TT by ripping open the diff, or driving it!
