Is Eaton Truetrac a posi?

Detroit Truetrac – Helical-gear limited-slip (worm differential) is the modern replacement for the classic clutch-type posi. Under normal light throttle driving conditions, a Truetrac operates much like a standard open differential, allowing the rear wheels to rotate at slightly different speeds for smooth cornering.

How can you tell if you have a limited slip differential?

The easiest way to tell if you have an open differential is to jack up the car and spin one of the rear tires. If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, you have an open differential. If it spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential, or LSD.

What kind of differential does an Eaton elocker use?

The Eaton ELocker is an electronic, selectable differential designed for drivers that need traction on-demand. At the flip of a dash switch, drivers can go from open to 100-percent locked. A second flip of the switch deactivates the unit to resume normal driving.

Why does Dana use a limited slip differential?

Both wheels are required to turn at the same speed in all conditions to eliminate wheel slip and increase mobility. Dana’s Electronic Limited Slip Differential (ELSD) technology bridges the gap between a full all-wheel drive system and a two-wheel drive open differential system to deliver maximum tractive effort while improving drivability.

What does the Detroit truetrac differential do for You?

The Detroit Truetrac differential operates as a standard or open differential under normal driving conditions, allowing one wheel to spin faster or slower as necessary. When a wheel encounters a loss of traction or the terrain changes, the gear separation forces take effect and transfer torque to the high-traction wheel.

Which is the most reliable on demand differential?

A second flip of the switch deactivates the unit to resume normal driving. The ELocker is the most reliable on-demand differential, featuring selectable operation and net-forged gears for added strength.
