Detroit Tru Trac, gears and you are stronger than an 8.8 and lighter...
Very true. But the average driver usually doesn't need something that strong, and for someone who doesn't know what to expect the locker system would probably be a bad idea on the streets. On the strip... well hands down I'd take the detroit. But for practicality, and for flexibility, the t-lok seems to be able to deliver towards a lot of applications.

That's true that a T-Lok is good for DD but if you are FI, better safe than sorry.

And where would be a good place to buy the gears and t-loc for the stock rearend?

Thanks

I went with the new take off because I wanted 3.55s and NO whine. It was pretty easy to exchange rears and It only hurt gas mileage about 1-1.5 MPG on the highway. Ford Gears and t-lock plus the installation cost would be pretty close to $800.00 anyway so the take off rear made sense. I also think the weight difference is not thatbig a deal. The car runs very strong too. When I ran the car at the drags last month it ran faster then I expected! I glad I took this way instead of gears and t-lock.

The TruTrack isn't a locker, it's a worm gear. Very strong, no clutch packs. Extremly stable in corners. Excellent torque application. If you snap an axle you'll gently roll to a stop, instead of hanging a hard right into the wall. But, get one tire on ice, and you're not going anywhere.
