[QUOTE="TVSCobra, post: 9940029, member: 64473"] I have had two truetracs, one in my sold 06 Mustang GT and the one in the Cobra now. The truetrac in the GT would pop all the time, make a winding/racheting noise on decel. And no that was not the ring and pinion making the noise. I have bruces aluminum bushing kit, the only noise I get is the normal clunk noise from the driveline. It did that before the rearend work, I set the gear between .009 and .010 on backlash. Eaton claims the truetracs are noise free but they are not. They seem to not have any consistancy, but they are great units and can be used for drag racing and then taken to the road course then next. I used Rotella 85w-140(conventional oil), you can get it a Walmart for 3.80 a quart. I ran that 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 miles, I changed it many times for proper break-in. I now run a fluid like Redlines shock proof but it is make by Amsoil (SAE190). You can sign up for the Amsoil preffered customer and it cuts like 4 bucks off of each quart. Who setup your rearend? Did you use the axle spacer? On IRS car you don't need the axle spacer, since our axle are held in by the hubs and we have clips on the shaft stubs. I have also found that there is a lot of play between the gears inside the truetrac, this doesn't help us since our trannies already have a large amount of play in them. Then add the slop from the axleshaft joints themselves. If I had to do it all over again, I would problably go with a factory traclock and use the alternative stack method and pack them really tight. I have been meaning to give you a call and I will. I have been busy. [/QUOTE]
