so no one has any other ideas besides going with a locker
Like they said, tru-trac is a limited-slip. This should help explain the diff...

IMHO, the biggest disadvantage of the Detriot Locker is the extra 'slack' it creates in the driveline. I can live with locking/unlocking stuff, but that extra jerk when the TC is locked and you are rolling along on level ground at a constant speed is annoying. After spending some time in a PSD with a Detroit, I would only choose this option if I had to have the traction - iow's a lot of off-road use. (I'll just keep my spooled-up 'yota rockcrawler for the hard-core off-road use!!:thumbsup
The truth is, for pavement use - the LSD is all we really need. If both tires have similar traction, they will both turn with a tight LSD. However, if ya put one on the pavement and one in the mud - the one in the mud can spin and the other not move... The 'locker' shines for this scenario, since both tires will spin no matter what.
I need to do something with the X's LSD, the 'one-wheel-peel' is just not acceptable!! Lol.
Arisley, are you happy with the rebuilt stocker? Is there a way to make it 'tighter' than stock? How many miles since ya rebuilt it?
