Can you give some kind of instructions on the install so I can get an idea what it takes to do this? I and the rest of us would really appreciate it man!! I'm ready for TT big time. I want TT and (2) lightweight rims with some DR's or slicks on them

I want TT and (2) lightweight rims with some DR's or slicks on themInstalled the True Trac a couple months back. Fairly simple on the Titans. Just dumped the dyno break in oil and replaced with full synthetic.
NO MORE ONE WHEEL PEEL! That alone is worth the cost. Probably recoup the TT cost in not replacing one tire all the time. This is the rear end the Titans SHOULD come with from factory. I love it! Improved use of torque off the line. Really launches the truck. Seems smoother, no clunking when shift into drive/reverse. Gas mileage even seemed to imporve slightly. Probably due to more efficiencly of the driveline and less waste on tire spin. I'm extremely happy with this upgrade.
Will be hauling the travel trailer this weekend and look forward to seeing how the rear end handles the load.

Yup, I've got a brand new one sitting in the living room with new races and bearings as well.
Only local place wants $650+ for the install, but I found a place a few hours away that'll do it for closer to $250.
Have you worked on rear ends before? Did you have someone help you?
I'm seriously thinking about Craigslisting an ad for an experienced, possibly out-of-work mechanic to come to my house and help me with this and some of the other parts I need installed.
I'm mechanically inclined, but I'm no mechanic. It would be nice if I could help with the installation of my own parts, both for the fun of the experience AND to save a little dinero.
Anything you can tell us will help.

Old man Hooper & John at J&S Gear said non synthetic gear oil was best for a LSD

WHY do they say this? No one has given me an explanation and others are running synthetic successfully. Just like Nissan states "Nissan J Matic only" in the tranny and yet I have been running Red Line synthetic for years. I find it is usually based on preferance/marketing and not science. If you have a compelling reason to stick with dino, then I will consider it.
What version (year) of TT did you install? I believe they solved the bolt issue by going with more and smaller bolts. I made sure the TT version I installed was current.I agree the old clutch type of LSD my not grab correctly with the synthetic, but the Trutrac is a Torsen or gear style LSD and the type of fluid will not make any difference. I have been running Royal Purple Synthetic for thousands of miles with no problems, except of the well known problem of the bolts backing out due to the wrong type of locktite used at Eatons factory.
IDK, it has been installed for 3+ years now.What version (year) of TT did you install? I believe they solved the bolt issue by going with more and smaller bolts. I made sure the TT version I installed was current.
I also agree, you can put K.Y. in there and it will still work.... LOLYes, being a helical gear style LSD, not clutch pack style, there will be no slipping whatsoever, no matter the lube used. I have had great success with Red Line synthetics in both the rear end and the transmission. Never ever see the tranny heat gauge move, even towing a heavy load up hill.
