Front TrueTrac
Since a TrueTrac could only be engaged when in 4wd, would it really cause any problem to put one on the front as well? I've heard that the turns can be difficult and somewhat unpredictable due it locking in unexpectedly, but since I only use 4wd offroad or on a boat ramp, it shouldn't really matter. Right?

Cool, thanks. To update the cruise control issue, the truck goes into the shop in the morning. The guy did not seem too surprised about the problem, so I guess he knows what's going on.

That having been said, how much of a benefit would a front TrueTrac really provide? I know a locker would provide more traction, but I'm not sure the trade offs are worth it to me.

Any particular model? I already have air on board, so would an air locker be similar in function and cost?

I think those might be the wrong part numbers, need the 35 spline version. Also, pay attention to the gear ratio split in the carrier. If you have 4.10 and down gears there is a different version from 4.56 and up. Most 4.30 gear sets are "thick" and use the 4.10 and down carrier.

I assume they both have the same tire scuffing around turns issues. Since I'm a urologist, do they make a "water locker"?

Good one 
The good thing about a selectable locker is you can disengage them and make them open when driving on-road, so tire scuffing isn't really an issue. When you need more traction, just flip a switch. Do you plan to use it on the road and for what reason? Front lockers/limited slips are a big no-no on slick roads.
