I've emailed them but no response yet. Anyone heard?   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Senior Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 629 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 01:45 am:    I haven't heard the rumors yet but I hope they do. It will make a nice alternative to the big three currently available. And besides, I have my old EAS switches sitting idle just waiting for such an application.

I've pestered them off and on for months for an answer and have been told "no" every time. I'm not optimistic about it, but if you find out differently, keep us posted....   Greg Hirst (Gregh) Senior Member Username: Gregh Post Number: 424 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Wednesday, January 07, 2004 - 09:18 pm:    I'm hoping as well. It would be a no-brainer especially for front diff-all the benefits of a TT for normal driving with lift (wandering) and lockable when you need it. If I hear anything I'll let you know- Steve-meant to introduce myself and say hello at SCLR meeting at LA auto show. Are you going to Truckhaven Jan 17?   Greg Hirst (Gregh) Senior Member Username: Gregh Post Number: 433 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, January 12, 2004 - 08:46 pm:    FWIW-I received an email today from Scott Frary, Tractech Aftermarket Sales Manager, stating that they do intend to market a Land Rover diff Electrac. His best guess is late 2005.   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Senior Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 639 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2004 - 12:42 am:    Greg, yes I'll be at Truckhaven. See ya there. Late 2005? Well, they should have ironed out the actuator issues by then, hopefully it'll all be internal like the rumored new D44 version.
