I saw an ad in Diesel Power Mag that said Detroit HAS released the True Trac for the AAM 11.5 axle!

Every time I have looked on their sire it doesn't show it. Even though you see a chevy Dually in the add that says it's the tru trac. And I have seen ads for it in the 11.5 AAM also but the site never seems to show there is one. At least not the last time I looked.

Well, got a deal on one from my buddy at the dealer so in it went.

These rear ends are fairly easy to work on vs the 1/2 ton 10 bolts, no shims to worry about.

When i get back to work i'll have to find a stronger limited slip.

Im trying to get up a pic of the broken one, the small toothed gear broke in 2 places.

I have found the weak link!!

I cant imagine what a non stock turbo truck or twin setup runs like, This stock turbo truck with the big tune is plenty for me!:baby:
You only make the second statement because of the first! Once you know how a non-stock turbo or twin truck runs like you will want one too. I was fine until I went for a spin in IdahoRob's LBZ...

No idea, but I was shocked when I saw it.

me too i have looked all over for these and nothing. I had heard they were working on one but this is the first i have seen of them.

i had a smaller version of this in my car and i can say they are top notch

Think mine decided to give out last Saturday at the track, been locked up ever since and won't unlock no matter what I do. How safe is it to run like this for a while till a new one gets here?

Depending on whats broken... could be good for ever or it could lock up on you when you least expect it.

I wouldn't take my chances with it for too long though because its likely that whatever is broken will get kicked up into the gears sooner or later and cause catastrophic failure. The rear end could lock up on you and send you sliding sideways into oncoming traffic.

What would be really easy is to take off the cover and inspect. Then you'll know the real deal. You can pretty much see everything when you take off the cover.
