The Eaton Detroit Truetrac differential is a helical-gear limited-slip differential designed to improve traction, acceleration, and handling in rear-wheel-drive vehicles equipped with a 9-inch rear axle. Part number EAT912A587 uses automatic torque-biasing technology to redirect power to the wheel with available traction, helping maintain forward motion during varying road and driving conditions.

Designed for 28-spline axle applications with a 1.20-inch axle shaft diameter and 3.25-and-up ring gear and pinion ratios, the Detroit Truetrac operates smoothly in both forward and reverse. Its maintenance-free design requires no special lubrication or friction modifiers, simplifying installation and long-term service requirements. The helical gear arrangement provides durable, quiet operation without the complexity of clutch-style limited-slip components.

The Eaton Detroit Truetrac is suitable for a broad range of vehicles and performance applications where dependable traction and predictable handling are important. Automatic engagement requires no driver input, allowing the differential to respond as traction conditions change. This differential is intended for compatible rear 9-inch axle configurations and should be matched to the vehicle’s axle spline count, shaft diameter, and gear ratio before installation.
