I've wheeled my rear TrueTrac 3 times since I installed it, 2 of the times pretty hard at Rausch and it performed great in my opinion. It's no locker, but it definitely did better than the "limited slip differential". Installed it about 6-8 months ago I believe. So far so good....

You mean you can't do full time lockers with the Auto 5 speed due to known limp mode issues? Assuming I am on the same page, do selectable lockers still have limp mode issues? Since Rubicons ship with selectable lockers, I would think that would work.

I have a truetrac in the front and I wheel my jeep pretty hard here in Colorado, if you notice a the beginning of this vid, one tire slipped abit then it engaged almost emediately, I have stock diff in the back and planning to put a truetrac too.

My understanding is that the limp mode problems on the 4 speed auto only happen with full time lockers like Aussie or Detroit. Since the Rubicon lockers are not full time, but are selectable and can be engaged electrically, it does not have the limp mode problem. I would expect other selectable lockers would also work fine without problem.
