for those who are still wondering, which locker diff should I buy?

After a LOT of forum reading, I decided to go with the Detroit True Trac.
Why, because under normal conditions, you don't even know it is there, I have driven this truck over 6,000 miles since it was installed, and finally, I got to see it work.

Up in Cleveland, Utah where I am now, the farm is up on a hill, and the soil is a mix of cliche and clay. I knew when I went to town, that coming back was going to be trouble.
It started raining last night about 8pm and kept it up all night long, not heavy, just a continuous light down pour.... not enough to make ruts, but the ground is too slippery for me to walk on in the wet spots.

but, inside the truck, I never felt a thing, those street treads ( Michelin LTX Defenders ) just went right up the hill.





if you look real close, the right rear wheel slips in the mud, and about 18 inches later, the driver side wheel catches hold and pulls ahead, and that repeats all the way up the hill.

it ain't an Air or Electric Locker, but it is the Best thing for us City folk who never go Rock Climbing.

the tracks to the far Left are where I went down the 15 degree hill to the highway.
