Just got an 03 1500 5.7l 4x4. Has 39k on it. 3.92 gears and Traclok. I've heard rumors that these things implode on their own?? If thats the case i would be probably better off getting a new carrier/LSD like a powertrax instead of modding the truck right away right?

Thanks for the info..

 

Yea, not a bad idea if the LSD is factory. Better to spend $400-$500 now then $2500 when it implodes and take the whole rear end out on you. Do some searches on the forums about the Powertrax though, I've read a lot of bad, including lock up of the rear end problems while cruising along at highway speed. A very dangerous thing, there. The chosen ones by most truck owners are the Auburn Gear LSD and the Eaton/Detroit TruTrac. Both very solid, dependable units...
