Lsd and R&P

[LS5DodgeRam]

Hey guys/gals

Does anyone have experience or a review of yukon gears? I'm looking into a r&p set for the truck and they are a lot of money... but I've heard there name get recommended a couple of times. Also I'm looking for an LSD and yukon makes a quad spring clutch LSD for dodge 9.25" rear ends for like $500 worth it or should I get a different style LSD and different company?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I would look at the Detroit true Trac over the Yukon lsd or better yet get Detroit locker.

I don't want to and cannot have this happen. This is kind of why I haven't looked into those

That's not very common for the Detroit tru trac. But if you would rather, the Yukon units are good as well, but you run the risk of that video with any brand, sometimes stuff messes up and crap happens.

The problem with the video Randy put up is that he has gone through a couple TruTracs now because of how he uses that truck. It sees more miles at the dragstrip than it does on the street, and runs 11's in the 1/4 mile. He uses a lot of nitrous off the line as well. Its also strange that he has gone through 2 yet I don't know of anyone else that had damaged 1 of these units.

I am running a True Trac in my 2011 regular cab that sees a lot of hard miles, mostly at the dragstrip, and it is perfect. I actually took this complete axle with the trutrac out of a customers truck that had 80k miles on the unit. Put some fresh fluid in it, and I've been driving it hard since then. You aren't going to find a stronger unit for the 9.25" rear axle than the Detroit TruTrac.

As for the gears, I run Yukons in my 2011 crew cab and Motives in my 2011 regular cab. Both whine a little around 45-60mph. They only make noise when you give it just enough throttle to maintain speed. Under acceleration and deceleration, they don't make any noise.

Truetracs are clutchless. You don't have to worry about clutch packs wearing out. Huge plus.

The boys have spoken.
Best listen to them.

the truetracs i assume use the worm gears like a torsen differential?
