Extremely Nice Rig Jefe!!

How do you like the Electrac up front? How is the ride in unlocked, limited slip mode? I have never ridden in a truck with LS up front and was curious about it.

The Electrac is awesome. The l/s isn't even noticable, except when its needed. And if you need a bit more, just lock it up. :)

In the two days I was out at Truckhaven testing the SAS out, I probably only locked the front a half dozen times. And half of those I probably didn't need it, the l/s would have done fine, it was just a cautionary measure.

Thanks for the info Jefe!

For some reason, I didn't ask everything I wanted to about the Electrac.:confused:

Does your rig ever see the road now that it is done? How is the Electrac onroad. I can definately see the advantage offroad, by not constantly having to go to full lock, but how is its onroad manners with LS?

Sorry I had to ask another question instead of wording my first one more correctly! I have run across a deal on a Electrac and it caught my interest, but the truck will still see its fair share of the road.

Yes, my rig is still my daily driver. . however, I've got manual hubs, so the l/s is not a problem :p

However, I did break the gears in on-road. The L/s is noticable, but not bad at all. Its milder than my brothers True-Trac.

Exactly what I wanted to hear!!:D

Thanks Jefe!
