Detroit TruTrac
I was perfectly happy with my open diff for road use. It really makes for a more contolled drive, as one rear wheel is always hanging on to the pavement regardless of throttle.
But one day I snapped one of my 28 tooth spline axles during a hard 2nd gear shift... the subsequent findings inside the Ford 9" diff were catastrophic. So I went with all new innards including 31 tooth spline axles and the Detriot TruTrac limited slip. It has no clutches, and I feel no gripping during low speed tight radius turns.
I did however, have to learn how to "power drive" again. Once both rears light up, things get kind of squirrely.
If I had not trashed the open diff, I would not have felt the need to go with limited slip... and never with a locking set up.
