  2. Thanks for the replies yall. Im getting the true trac with 4.10 gears with bearings and shims and oil. Also new bearings in the hubs with labor for $2,450 at pyle bros in baytown tx. Its seems expensive but its really not that much money for oem parts to be installed by a first rate shop. I know im not going to be listening to gears whine and grind for 3 months and take it back to the shop 3 times for "adjustment". I hope so at least. Ill post when its done. I really like the idea of awesome traction with dually tires. Its a heavy steel flatbed so thatll help it even more.
  3. Ok thanks for the input. Im thinking the truetrac would be wasted money cuz i live in houston and just drive on pavement and theres not much mud and ice. My build sheet says its got an anti spin differential so that seems good enough for general use. Im gonna have the shop install the 4.10 gear and pay extra to change out the hub bearings also while they got it torn down and then itll be a complete rebuilt axel. Im looking at the goerend triple disk converter and maybe the valve body but im to cheap to justify needing it. Ill prolly get the torque converter eventually tho for some reason. I plan on driving this truck for 30 years so good parts can save money if they last. The tranny was rebuilt by the previous owner so i cant justify messing with the transmission to much as i work offshore in saudi and dont use the truck for work. Im kinda hoping it starts slipping!! Dont think anyone has said that before lol
  4. Ive got a 2000 3500 24v 47re dana 80 dually 3.55 2wd and im talking to pyle bros axle shop in houston about ugrading to 4.10 and he mentioned about getting the trutrac. Im just hauling the backhoe around town a little. Is the truetrac worth it for my use. I like the idea of improving the traction with 2wd. Ill be hauling the drump trailer also too. Ive read that heavy towing isnt good for the truetrac. What do yall think about that?
