are there any drawbacks on installing a limited slip rear end in a F250? i read a few threads but don't have the time right now to search through and read all of them. just thought i would see if i could get some quick answers from all you experts. i did read about a detroit truetrac, but was not sure what the opinion was on how they affect performance. thanks in adavance. OOH RAH!
My vote is for the True-Trac. Good in the city and good in "most" off-road conditions. If your looking for something to lay two black stripes down the road the True-Trac is not what you want.
Air lockers are great but for all round driving I find them noisy and a bit annoying. If you actually do real off-road driving then I would get lockers, electronic or air, for sure.
Not that it won't last as they're pretty much friggin bullet proof, it's just that I've found, if its on the rear, that one tire can suddenly break loose on traction and spin casing some unpredictable handling issues. I'm not sure why, it might have something to do with the way if one tire is contacting the ground and the other is off the ground in some off-road situations you loose traction.
Simpler just buy an aftermarket electronic locker that way your not having to make your own wiring.
