True trac verification

[Loydster]

Been reading/searching. Found several threads but most were referencing D1 installs.

For the d2 these are the part numbers for the bearings I have come up with

Are these correct

M88046 flange side cone
M88010 flange side cup
HM801310 gear side cup
HM801346X gear side cone

And two "Set 47s" or 2x LM102910 & 2x LM102949 (carrier bearings)

Thx.

FWIW D1 and D2 diffs are pretty much the same. bearings should be the same part numbers...

A little off-topic here, but wanted to throw in some TT experience. I'm running F&R in my 99 D2.

On the plus side - cost / pretty much transparent on-road / typically won't grenade when you break an axle / don't have to engage, disengage / works for MOST off-road circumstances (best with latest SLABS software and some throttle/brake foot work when a tire is in the air).

Maybe that's enough for what you have planned for your truck. What I've found is that the trails I've graduated to, as time goes by, is that I wish I had gone for the ARB's. Yes, more expensive, but there are times when a locked diff would definitely be an advantage.

On-road and most off-road, the TT's, traction control and center-lock will get you through all but the toughest trails, BUT if your going to hit the really hard stuff, I'd save up for the ARB's.

MTCW.

Another thought - Maybe go with a Detroit.

I am curious - on which trails did you find TTs lacking?

Don't know if lacking is the right word. Just found that I had to carry a bit more speed than I was comfortable with sometimes. My truck is my DD, so I like to go REALLY slow in spots.

Thanks for the info. I was working under the assumption d1and d2 would be the same. As far as true Trac go. This is my second d2 first one was also a dual true Trac set up. Wheeled all over Texas Arkansas Utah and anywhere else I could find dirt and never any issues. It does require a bit of 2 footed driving to keep them engaged.

A rear Detroit Locker and a front true Trac w a CDL, In my opinion the best way to go. I love the ARB idea but the cost and complexity of the parts is a no go for me. Especially when you want to set up both axles. You can be into it as much as buying a whole truck.

The Detroit just works. Occasionally it will clunk or not disengage bit other than that I never notice it. Front trutrac offers an improvement in diff strength and added traction with out breaking the bank. You'd never know it's there.
