Differences between front and rear Truetracs

[Robb]

I know that the front and rear Truetracs (TT) have different part numbers but I was wondering what the differences are between the front Truetrac and the rear Truetrac. I have the opportunity to buy a front TT for a good price but want to throw install it in my rear diff for now.

Will there be any issues with doing this? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Nevermind I see now people replied to my post in another thread.

Truetracs aren't a locking diff, they are gear driven limited slip. The gears in front and rear are cut in opposite directions so that they engage when a wheel slips. Keep in mind that your front and rear diffs face in opposite directions. The only way a front one would work in the rear is if you only ever drove in reverse.


(edited to say truetracs "aren't" instead of "are". That was one hell of a typo! )
