New rear end - oem LS or TrueTrac
Thanks for the advice guys. I think I am just going to allow them to service the OEM LS. A TrueTrac or similar "improved" LS would be nice, but I don't know that the extra $500 for another type of limited slip is worth it. I really don't want a locker for my truck as it really only sees tough offroading 2-3 times per year on trips up to the sand dunes, and I have to drive in Michigan winters and I hear that full lockers are not good for ice and snow.
Someday I will have a dedicated offroad rig and a daily driver, until then I will have to make compromises like this.
Thanks again

The things about a True Trac that are different than a standard clutch type LS differential are: 1) the differential is gear driven and requires no maintainance or rebuilding, ever. 2) If one tire starts to slip, you can lightly apply the brakes and that wheel will then lock up. For me, this unit offers most of the best of both worlds with few of the disadvantages. For the occaisional off roader, like me, it works very well. If you are a frequent or hard core off roader, you might want something different.

I just don't like having an LS that determines (totally unbeknownst to me) if it's going to deliver the traction I need or not. That's pretty scary when you are neck deep in trouble and are praying for it's performance
