Looks like gears are next!

I'm looking at getting 4.56 gears with LSD but I need some advice on what all I'm gonna need. I have 4wd so I know im gonna need gears for both axles. What's the difference between the Detroit Tru-trac and Detroit Locker?

I'll do my best to explain this as best as I understand it.

The Tru-trac I was told is a better version of the stock LSD. It just locks when it needs to. This is best for on-road, as well as an occasional off-road adventure.

The Locker is a full time locker, really for if you're into serious off roading. I have a buddy with a full time locker and he said it takes some getting used to, especially on wet roads. If we had a selectable locker option, or electronic locker option, I would have gone this route, but I didn't want a full time locker on a DD.

Have you found a shop that will modify your carrier to work? There is nothing out for 2012s I don't think.

Wait so I can't get gears either for a 12?

 

[Musclemckeester]

No, unfortunately not. I think FastNUgly was going to see if he can get his modified to work with a 2012, but he'd be the first one I know of on 2 forums with gears on a 12. I know another guy is working on it too, but it's going to cost some money when they figure it out.

Damn that sucks... first no tuners and now no gears... Now what am I supposed to get for my truck?? Haha

Like mentioned, nobody makes an aftermarket limited slip for your diff yet. A qualified shop can make it work, but it is going to be a very expensive upgrade.

Hmmm... I'll definitely look around to see if anyone is qualified to make one. What kind of shop would I even go to?? haha

stall torque converter

What does this do exactly?...

Lets the engine spin up higher before it loads the transmisson and starts to move the truck

Basically launches you forward at a stoplight alot faster than you ever imagined. If that's your forte

That would be this guy and yes, an expensive mod and VERY expensive if you are a 4x4
