I was recently asked to put together a short film of the Detroit Truetrac's in my Land Rover Series 3 Hybrid. A clear demonstration of them working in both axles and also how by applying the brakes you can transfer power to the opposite tire in low traction situations or if a tire is in the air.

Shame that that battery was nearly dead in the camera, but you can still see them at work.

Enjoy.

  • should have stuck with the land rover ones and you would have been filming your defender going of in the distance lol

  • @KENDRY0

    It's a Series 3 mate, not a Defender. LOL

  • AAAHH Chequerplate rash! and a roll cage on a series!

    at least you're flying the Landy flag for us in the states!

    roll on.... :)

  • @danebrewer10

    All our old Series landy's are uniquely individual, I have some chequer plate you don't, so be it. The roll cage is essential here for 1) the number of local accidents with moose and 2) where I offroad.

    BTW, I'm further from the "states" than you are......SWEDEN.

  • thanks for the vid! have you had any on road issues...like you might encounter with other "lockers" such as the powertrax no slip system.. ie: noises, popping, or any unpredictable behavior such as the ass end kicking out while accelerating around a corner?

  • @lauderdalechad

    Theses diff's don't give me any of the above symptoms. In 2WD the rear acts more predictable than it did before. The only problem that I have so far encountered is when in 4WD I can get a bit torque steer, if I'm too spirited on the gas pedal then more torque steer. Adjusting my driving to the conditions though, has helped a lot which makes the diff's more predictable.

I assumed you were in the states as your english is so good,
