    You have a limited slip differential, better for street driving

    I have the true trac on my S-Runner. I haven't had any problems on the street, little chirping around corners and MPG's is about 17-18... but I have a lead foot:burnrubber:. You have to be accelerating in a turn or it'll shake the hell outta your truck :rofl:. Either that or keep it in neutral.

    Yeah, I wouldn't recommend with an auto. The true trac you can get for anywhere from $200-300. Just depends where yoiu shop.
