    Removed PWM control from TCC

    Usually the TC clutches are good. People often think they wear out first, remember they are ment for high friction high torque applications. What the cause of this worn clutch feel is wear in the valve body because of the PWM. It's due to wear in the valve body bore around the TCC PWM valve. In...

    weird vibration

    It may aslo be a warped brake rotor, or a loose brake caliper.

    ABS engaging when it should not be, ideas?

    Get get the tire off the ground, then probe into the wheel speed sensor (ABS Sensor) leads. You can use a couple of T-pins, push them in at the spot were the wire enters the connector DO NOT push them through the wire insulation. Set the multimeter to measure AC voltage . Turn the wheel by hand...

    Which LSD?

    I will agree I didn't really pay attention to the most simple and cost effective part. :redface: This article show just how tuff the Truetrac is. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/parts/drivetrain/mopp_0509_detroit_truetrac_differential/viewall.html

    Check the fastener that holds the sensor in place, if its loose it will act just as you explained. You can also test the sensor with a DMM to see if it is functional.

    Which LSD?

    Maybe I've had a few trucks with the G80, don't get me wrong I love it for what it is. The Truetrac has the same performance, but you don't have any springs or clutches to wear out. Don't forget the G80 in these 8.0-8.6 diffs have a habbit of grenading under heavy use with oversize tires. I...

    Which LSD?

    I plan to run a Truetrac The Truetrac is a torque sensing diff, this means that if both wheels have equal traction they will each get 50% of the torque. When one wheel slips the majority of the torque goes the the wheel with the most traction. This works great in most applications, one down...
