where did you purchase your Detroit Truetrac?

1) I would recommend Airram.com, seems to me that nick has the best prices around. DTT runs $499 and I believe it is free shipping and handling as well.
2) On his site the bearings are separate but only cost $55, which is still cheaper combined than anywhere else that I saw.
3) When I do my lift and 37's in the fall I will be doing the 4.56 gears and the DTT as well, but here is how I would approach the oil situation. Use the conventional at the start because you have to "wash out" all the scrap metals as the shop should change the gears after about 500 miles, after they change it I would put in a synthetic. I am going to run Royal Purple throughout my truck.
- Remember that during the first 500 miles of the new gears and DTT you will want to baby it to break it in. After the gear lube change it is time to really break them in.

I bought mine at 4 wheeel parts. www.4wheelparts.com
They will beat any price you can find!
Not sure what fluid they put in. But I am going to put Royal Purple in soon.
And I am not sure about the carrier bearings, but it was not on my ticket. I did 4:56 gears at the same time (ring and pinion) and the master install kit. That's about as far as I can tell you.
If you have a 4wheelparts near you go in there like you are knocking the price down on a new truck. I talked them down almost the entire price of the DTT from the original quote.

I talked to the people at moes....
thats kinda what steered me away to see where other people are getting them. I called them 5 days in a row, and finally got ahold of someone, and I dont know who it was, but they couldnt tell me if it came with new bearing or shims, and they didnt know what fluid to run, and then they were trying to sell me a master intall kit with a DTT.
Seemed like if you have sold "alot of them" you would know more about it wouldnt you?
Who ever it was didnt know nothing about it, that kinda turned me off of them.
