The Eaton Detroit Truetrac is a helical gear-driven limited-slip differential that puts the most available traction to the ground while sharpening handling and everyday drivability. It works automatically and smoothly with no maintenance, so it suits street, tow, and trail use. Unlike an on/off locker it stays quiet and predictable, which makes it a popular full-time traction upgrade for the GM 9.5in/9.76in axle.
