Hey guys, i just spoke with both Eaton Products about the TRUTRAC and Richmond Gear which make the POWERTRAX.

Check out the traction demonstation video:
POWERTRAX BY RICHMOND VIDEO DEMOS

Eaton will not be making the trutrac for the 08's because they would want nissan to stay with the same rear end for a couple of years, and they dont want to make a differential for a one year truck. Since Chrysler will be making the titans from now on... that means no trutrac. Richmond gear wanted me to try and get as many people as possible that would want a locker for their titans and if there are enough requests, they would make one for us.... $450-$550, about the same price as trutrac. Its worth a shot.


So start the requests: Im in!


Omar,
The response looks very promising so far. Assuming there are no repeat posts between forums (other than yours), it appears that up to 43 people have responded favorably. I have two suggestions going forward. First, get as many people as possible to flood aaron.mays@regalbeloit.com with requests (no duplicates please). Second, get a complete carrier assembly to us so we can take the necessary measurements and figure out what it would take to actually produce this unit.

Also, I know next to nothing about these trucks and what rear ends are available for which year models. Are we talking about a single-year application? Perhaps you can point me to some specific webpages, forum threads, or other resources.

Thanks!

I would buy one (Powertrax). I would also like to have one for the front diff.

I put a Lock Rite in the front and a Powertrax in the rear on my old Chevy. That thing rocked off road.

Not really interested in a TruTrac...

Hell yeah - if they'd support the 08 I'd buy one.

Glad to see response so quickly, but were gonna need more than just a few people. If any of you know anyone that has an 08 and is not on the forums, get them on them. Every little bit helps.

i want one too because i'm tired of the rear pass. side tire screaming everytime i try to give it anything past 1/2 throttle when pulling out onto a road. it would also help greatly with off road too.
