Eaton Truetrac

[deverson1]

Hi all
After recently having a Kaaz diff centre fail on me I am wondering if there is anyone who has had an eaton truetrac and any dramas they might have had.

Thanks daniel

The only problem with my Eaton unit is that it leaves 2 black marks on the road at all times when required.

lol Thanks for the reply I read they are rated to 500hp is anyone using one and making more than that?

I ran 550 rwhp for 20000km not a problem no iv put 1000rwhp and still all good. Depends on what brand you get to as there are a few different ones out there the Harrop ones are ment to be the best

Have one in my ute, love it. How every LSD should be - locked when you want it locked, open wheeler for putting around.

Only difference between the Eaton and the Harrop is the casing - I'm pretty sure the Eaton is cast and Harrop is billet; happy to be corrected though. You'll break something else before you break the casing though

I have the eaton and love it. One of the best mods I have done to my car!! I don't know how Kaaz is still in business with these available.

The Harrop is rated to 500rwkw and the eaton to 500rwhp. I think the Harrop as Toast said is billet but also machined to finer tolerances etc. But you pay the premium for it. Almost double I think the last time I checked. IIRC SirNemesis on here is running the eaton with more than the rated power without a problem.

anyone have a link where you can buy these? are they the tru tracs on vpw?

[white lie]

The one on VPW is the Eaton.
Harrop's you can get from them or a few other places around the traps, VCM etc.
Eaton's are ~$600, Harrop's ~$1500.

Hi all
I am thinking of getting the eaton one as it is half the price of the harrop one and I have around 400rwhp and dont think that is going to go up any time soon.

Thanks daniel

I have just over 500rwhp (and a heap of torque) on my HTV1900 blown Monaro and also have the Eaton TrueTrac coupled with the Harrop sports diff cover. Traction is excellent and it doesnt make any noise and so far has handled the power without a drama. Great modification and if I did it all over again I would definitely install the eaton again.

When I destroyed my KAAZ last year, I replaced it with an Eaton Truetrac. It cost me $1900 supplied and fitted to the houseing, along with new 4.11:1 gearing and end caps, bearings, etc. That was thru Aussie Diffs on the Gold Coast (Currumbin)

I am making around 370rwhp. Good value and it has been a great diff so far. No noise. It drives like an open centre, but under load, it hooks locks up and fries both tyres. I would recommend it any day.

Thanks for the reply's
OMR346 how do you find 4.11.1 with an auto I am thinking of going 4.11s this time as the 3.9s got a little damage with the Kaaz.

Thanks Daniel

They are great. Maybe a bit short if you do lots of highway driving though. It sits at around 2500rpm @ 100km. That doesn't bother me though as I don't do much highway.

It is great around town. Take off has improved greatly, and I can stand on it at 70-80 km/h now and traction control goes crazy at me. It also chirps 2nd quite a lot and often 3rd as well. That is with 245/35/19"s.

With the KAAZ, I had 3.73:1 gearing.

Making more than 500hp with mine. No issues at all.
