Nope. I had a truetrac in the front of my 85 Dodge W350. They are torque biasing, helical geared units. The wheel outside the turn can turn the extra rotation required without any chattering or harshness. If the a wheel should slip, it essentially seamlessly transfers power to the opposite side. I never had any feedback of even having a traction aid in the front axle other than the dang truck would just freaking go through anything I wanted.sierrablue wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:11 pm
That's awesome!
Won't the Trutrac in the front cause steering issues?
The only time steering was even affected was in my sister's muddy horse lot when I delivered a round bale of hay. I could cut the wheels, but the soupy mud wouldn't allow the front to really steer effectively, so I blipped the throttle to make the front kinda lunge in the direction I needed. Didn't get stuck, even with being sunk up to the bottom of the axle tubes.
As far as street driving, you'll never know they are in the axle. They really shine in inclement weather, especially snow.
They are ideal for front axle applications.
