Hello, folks,
Second post here. Appreciate all the help given on my first post.
My 2004 Envoy does not have limited slip, nor locking rear diff. This vehicle, as all 4wd's without such features, are an absolute piece of crap in snow, ice, especially where one tire is on dry pavement and the other is spinning. When people hear you say you have 4wd, they assume you can get through anything. What a false sense of security. Enough ranting. So, I was looking at the Eaton TrueTrac rear diff unit. I know it is not a full locker. I don't need that. I just want to have power to both rear wheels when needed. This will probably be good enough for 90% of the snow/ice conditions I will see. I don't do offroading. Just the occasional dirt/mud road to a fishing spot. Oh yeh. I also tow an 18 foot center console to saltwater fishing spots.
Your opinions welcome.
Thanks again, folks.
Ken
