I’m looking to upgrade my gears to 4:56 and differential. I’ve been set on Eaton E-Lockers but after hours, days and weeks of reading I’m now considering Eaton Trutrac LSD. Last weekend I was able to finally get my build out on the trails here in Ohio. My setup had no problem doing the trails with the exception of the damn near vertical hill that I knew it wouldn’t do. Im not going to lie I was surprised with its performance. Now I’m not sure I need E-Lockers. I don’t plan to be crawling boulders but I would like to make it out west to Moab or The Rubicon at some point. I keep reading but it’s back and forth about what you actually need to do these trails. I don’t want to have to open the differentials for a second time if the Trutrac don’t perform well enough but I also don’t know how often I will engage the E-Lockers here on the east coast. Long story short I don’t want to be disappointed in the Trutrac but I don’t want to be disappointed that I paid for E-Lockers and rarely use them. I know the pros and cons of both. I just would like to hear from riders who have actual experience with both on trails. Any input would be appreciated.
