What about the Auburn LSD? How does that compare to the t-lok and the TT? Is hamidlmt the only one here who's got the Auburn?

I think they were trying to make you feel better about your T-Lok. EVERYONE I've ever talked to including old racers and mechanics say that the TT is much stronger than the T-Lok.

The problem with the TT as described by the shop is that those gear are packed in there so tight that chips have no where to go... while in other diffs there is a lot of empty space for chips to float through... Like I said all these guys do is clutches and rear ends.... and if they say they've SEEN failed TT's then I believe them... They said that when it's time to upgrade I should go to a Detroit Locker...

I don't buy that for a second, sorry scrming. I've personally looked inside of both, and the TrueTrac is definitely better made.
I've never heard of a TrueTrac failing. I have, however, heard of several Trak-loks failing....

Maybe everyone is telling you the TT is stronger so you'll feel better about spending more money than you needed to????
And yes, the Detroit Locker would be the way to go if you want extra strong! LOL!

Why would they LIE to me... they could have sold me the TT when they sold me the Trac-Lock... they carry both and I'm guessing they would have made a few dollars more on the TT since it's more expensive...

I don't think most people would enjoy a Detroit Locker on the street.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have gotten the T-Lok. But if you try to say that the T-Lok is stronger than the TT you start sounding like MSP. People were saying the TT was stronger way before I ever bought one. Your shop is the only one I've ever heard that said different. But believe what you want.

What I am saying is my Trac-Lock is holding up a lot better than anyone expected!! LOL! I did some data logging the other day... turns out I'm spraying just over 2000 RPM when I'm at the track... Lidio sprays about 2600 on the dyno... looking at the graph I'm guessing I'm closer to 460 or 470 when I spray at the track!!! LOL!
Hopefully everyone's rear end holds up!!! LOL!
And yes, I don't know if I could put a Detroit Locker in my car... LOL

Well, if I ever said the Trac-Lock was stronger than the TrueTrack, I'm sorry... I really don't ever remember actually saying that... I was simply pointing out that the TrueTrack has "issues" of it's own... I mean I look at it and say "Dang, that looks really strong". The shop just pointed out a possible weakness... I'm not saying one is better or stronger...

It could be as simple as them not getting as big a discount on the TT than the T-lok.
I dunno, I know you know and trust them, but it just doesn't jive with everything else I've heard about the TT. I know plenty of old heads that will use nothing else. Also... a Detroit Locker doesn't give you LSD, if I remember correctly.
