Hey guys,
I'm thinking about getting a TrueTrac for my front diff to help with some of the tracking issues I have since the lift. I was hoping you all could let me know if this is something a DIY'er could tackle in the garage or if it's better left to the pros. I keep reading how they are "drop-in" replacements. I have no problem taking off the drive shaft and such, but is there some stuff that a DIY'er just can't do?
Thanks!

That's what I was looking for. I have no experience with gears, so I will be looking for a good driveline shop. Perhaps the folks that did my front drive shaft?
Thanks, Mike!

You want a mechanic who has rebuilt 3rd. members, not someone who can rebuild a drive shaft.
Call aeound and get some estimates, then get back to us so we can keep you from getting screwed on the deal.
By the way, the T.T. will settle down your tracking issues real well, I haqve one in the front and a Detroit in the rear.

I know my opinion still doesn't mean squat here because I'm a newbie but I can safely say that as a Jeeper that likes to get dirty under the hood, I highly recommend finding a good 4x4 shop to install your LSD or LOCKER/GEARS or your head will explode. It's worth every cent to have a good shop do the install it's a bit of an art to install gears and lsd/lockers correctly. Good luck I've never used it but I really like the Design of the True trac

I called the place that did my drive shaft, they usually work on big trucks. He said no problem, asked if I were doing a gear change (no), and quoted about $275. Sound about right?
