Differentials for 9in 31 spline?

Differentials for 9in 31 spline?
I currently searching for a replacement for my Truetrac, because it's always acting like a spool. I open it, the 4 upper gears are jammed and all tooth are broke, 4 lower gears are marked but not jammed. And 1 of the 2 big gears also have broken tooths. All done with a bolt-ons LS1 with no more than 6 month with the new rear. So i'm pissed off and i'm looking for a other differential than the Craptrac.
I did some search and I don't know which choose, Locker or Auburn pro series. The Eaton posi is not available for a 9in so the Auburn was my second option, anyone had try the Auburn Pro series? The locker seems to act almost like a spool, locking on light load when turning, turn me off a little bit.
I saw on this board that the axles spline for the truetrac may be different so you need change axles when you install a other posi system, is that true?

Hubert, what happened to your Truetrac is pretty rare, as I have sold hundreds of them with very few problems. Today was my first day back at the shop after being gone for over a week. I got food poisoning Saturday and I only lasted at the shop for several hours before I came back home. I'll talk to Moser about your situation hopefully tomorrow. Bob

I know of a few guys who broke the true tracs. Everyone I know says go with a detroit locker. They can take the abuse and I understand they make one that unlocks easier in the turns for the street. They allow the outside tire to unlock and turn faster than the ring gear but the inside tire is locked in and turns ring gear speed so it will scrub a little. But you know it is always locked straight at WOT.

I don't know if the same is true for the Auburn.
FWIW, I had a locker for a while but took it out and sold it. It was too harsh with the banging and whatnot. The locker is a stout piece but I do way more street driving than drag racing and the benifits did not outweigh the annoyances. I honestly can't recall why I picked the Trac loc over the Auburn Pro. Senior moment I guess.
