I have TrueTracs front and rear in my Blazer and loved them. They chattered a slight bit during the first 2-3 weeks during break-in, but were seamless and invisible after that. I think I ran my Blazer about 15K miles after I did the axles before the transmission and motor let go and I parked it.....zero problems from the diffs in that time. I was also on the Volunteer Fire Department at that time, so they saw HARD use from every stop as well as mild offroading. I also put Moser axles in the rear.
I wouldn't go with Auburn. They seem to wear out much faster. Their disc-type clutch units are rebuildable, but who wants to even mess with that? Their cone-type units are not rebuildable. The Auburn Pro in my Mustang needs to be replaced, it doesn't spin both tires during a burnout when using slicks. To be fair though, I have no idea how old it is as it was already in the car when I bought it.
I just spent about 3 hours surfing and looking at people's experiences with different diffs. I looked specifically at the Detroit Locker and the Auburn Ected, as those were pretty much the only other options (besides True Trac) I was considering when it comes time to do my truck. I've come to the conclusion that everyone here is right and the TrueTrac is the best all-around choice for street use.
