I never had a Truetrac, have an Eaton Posi, but I think a TT would be stronger since there are no clutch pads (if that's the right term) to wear out. I think people are buying the TTs because they are stronger.

Broke my Tru Trac, an original unit before Eaton bought them out.

My boy with a mid 9 sec n20 402 ran a few seasons on a Eaton and never failed, sold it another guy who uses it now.

I thought about it hard and ended up going w/ the Eaton posi. I wanted more splines and the ability to rebuild/replace cheaper. If I need more than what the Eaton can handle I'll go to a spool.

How many spline on yours, Danno? 31?

EDIT: never mind, I see you're running a 12 bolt.
