I am thinking it will still be cheaper than adding the entire rear locking 4.46 axle & wiring it up?Honestly, it's tempting to switch my basesquatch to a base. A rear true-trac would be awesome for a daily. Still, pretty expensive when you add in the R&P, carrier, install, etc. It really sucks that Ford used a welded ring gear design on the non-locker rear.
Man, I dunno. The complete 4.46 locker rear is 2300ish from a quick google search. It's gonna be interesting to see how people tackle it. I should have someone to copy by the time mine gets built in 2024.I am thinking it will still be cheaper than adding the entire rear locking 4.46 axle & wiring it up?
Oh well, I will wait to see what the aftermarket comes up with for a 4.46?
Saw it here for $750: https://www.desertrat.com/i-23429938-detroit-truetrac-dana-44-m210-m220-32-spline-all-ratios.htmlWhat the price on this?
So does that mean the open 4.46 is not welded ?> Factory 3.73 gear equipped Bronco's feature a welded ring gear/open differential and will require a replacement M220 Jeep JL ring & pinion to complete installation.
I recall reading it's welded. I think only diffs with lockers are not welded.So does that mean the open 4.46 is not welded ?
Ohh now this is intriguing. How involved is an install for something like this?Saw it here for $750: https://www.desertrat.com/i-23429938-detroit-truetrac-dana-44-m210-m220-32-spline-all-ratios.html

That‘s what I’ve read too.I recall reading it's welded. I think only diffs with lockers are not welded.
Yep when I first read the Eaton caveat only mentioning the 3.73, I was hoping that meant the 4.46 was not welded. I'll have to check where I read about the welded aspect.That‘s what I’ve read too.
But if “my dealer said….” requires a drink, then “I read on an Internet forum….” should require a bong hit.
I would think Eaton Corp. would know more than some random dudes on B6G. I find it interesting that Eaton says it works with all ratios, and then specifically says 3.73 gears are welded, but does not mention 4.46.
Either way, that Tru-Trac is an excellent option for Base buyers. I’m seriously thinking about adding one to my Bronco, welded or not.
Just a FYI, your factory rear E-locker will stayed locked at all speeds in Baja mode if you have it. A true-trac would be great for the Bronco also.I had a True-Trac in the front diff of my 94 Bronco (and a Detroit Locker in the rear). For me, a Tru-Trac in the rear of my 6G will be perfect. My use is driving in snow, not rock crawling. So the “wheel in the air” does not bother me. A huge advantage of the Tru-Trac is that it works at all speeds. Just look at all the people surprised that their e-locker does not work above 20mph. Tru-Trac still works at 80mph, or even 102mph.
Note: I would also be interested in either a Detroit Locker or a Lock-Rite (lunchbox locker), but neither are currently available for a 6G. I’ve used both before and I’m fine with both.
Did not know that. Thanks !Just a FYI, your factory rear E-locker will stayed locked at all speeds in Baja mode if you have it. A true-trac would be great for the Bronco also.
