Top Reasons to Get a TruTrac

Figured this might help some of yall convince the wife to let you get a TruTrac.

1. Reduced tire wear. Loss of traction due to no REAL limited slip caused one wheel to spin during cornering or reduced-traction environments. This excessive slip causes the tire to prematurely wear, reducing tire life and necessitating future tire rotations and an earlier set of tires ($$$).

2. Increased gas mileage. Less tire slip means more power is being transferred to accelerating the vehicle rather than spinning the tires (heating them up and removing material. See #1 above).

Funny, although she may just tell me not to give it enough to spin the tires!!

Well here in the snowbelt it's very obvious why a 4x2 can use a TruTrac.

bmw 325is coupe. heck yes.

2.5 L I6 w/ 190 hp. currently i'm getting 18 mpg city & 27 highway.

once i get it all fixed up and in better running condition, along with some underdrive pulleys, CAI, and a chip, that number should go up.

much better than my titan, which was getting 11 city / 16 highway.

and it's paid for!

Thats cool! The paid for part that is! LOL Yeah, when I hear gas saver the first thing in my mind is a Civic. I dunno why but maybe its cuz the rep Honda made for itself.

Nice! Here in Los Angeles is will be more like 12mph w/12mpg. Traffic everywhere!

You guys actually noticed a gas saving increase with your Tru-Trac. With mine, my gas mileage has gone down

Second reason to buy a TruTrac
2. The only way to "truck-skate" figure "S's" and "8's"
