Not that I am aware of.ARMADAinSMOKE said:Does any manufacturer make an E-locker rear diff for the 4X2 Armada?
Not really. The internals may be, but I'm not sure. The rear axel is different and I think the rear is also, but it might just be the housing and not the gears. I'd call True Trac.baseballfanz said:Detroit just release the True Trac for the Titan, is the Armada rear diff. the same?
And honestly no need for one. If anyone can show me where a locker would do better than the ABLS in situations that the Armada would be I'd be interested. Cause those side steps are gonna hang up before you need a locker.scr38 said:The TruTrac unit for the Titan will not fit the Armada. There is no TruTrac produced for the Armada, and there are no plans at this time to produce one.
The TrueTrac is not a locker; it is a true limited slip. It allows full power to each wheel, but is still a differential. The locker locks the differential action, and can't be used on dry, hard surfaces. The TrueTrac works under all conditions, and full power is delivered, rather than engaging the brakes to the slipping wheel as ABLS does.Paisan said:And honestly no need for one.

If I remember right (Detroit has prolly 6-more different traction aids), the True Track is a clutch pack Limited Slip Differential (just for info). It's not 100% locked at anytime, under load or not. The clutch packs will still slip. It is a HUGE improvement over an open diff, and should be the first consideration for someone who spends less than 2/3rds their driving time off road.scr38 said:The TrueTrac is not a locker; it is a true limited slip.

ALBS works quite well in many conditions, but it is not the equal of a real limited slip differential.
Actually ABLS would not cut any power. With an open diffy if you apply the brake to the slipping wheel 100% of the power is sent to the other wheel. You'll have a tiny loss on initial engagement but not enough to really matter considering the power these trucks have.scr38 said:The TrueTrac is not a locker; it is a true limited slip.
