Description

The Eaton Detroit Truetrac is a limited-slip differential engineered as an upgrade for GM 8.5"/8.6" 10-bolt rearends, offering a robust alternative to spider gear or G80 (Gov. Lock) failures. This aftermarket differential employs a sophisticated worm-gear design to intelligently bias torque between the wheels, ensuring exceptionally smooth operation under various driving conditions. Unlike clutch-based limited-slip units, the Truetrac's internal mechanism does not rely on friction plates, meaning there are no components that wear out over time. This eliminates the need for specialized limited-slip additives in your differential fluid and contributes to a maintenance-free experience. The unit is constructed with larger bearing journals for increased durability and utilizes heavy-duty carrier bearings and races to withstand higher stress levels. This differential is designed with 30 spline count and is compatible with GM 8.5" and 8.6" 10-bolt axle applications. Eaton provides a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects for peace of mind.
