Eaton Detroit Truetrac 33 Spline Differential GM 9.5/9.75 Inch 3.42–3.73 Ratio - 917A732
The Eaton Detroit Truetrac Differential (Part #917A732) is a robust, helical-gear limited-slip differential designed for GM 9.5" and 9.75" axles with 33-spline shafts and 3.42 or 3.73 gear ratios. Known for its strength, smooth operation, and maintenance-free design, the Truetrac automatically transfers torque to the wheel with the most traction—delivering exceptional control and stability under varying load and terrain conditions.
Built entirely with precision-cut gears and no wearable clutch components, the Truetrac provides quiet, consistent, and durable performance for heavy-duty trucks, high-torque street builds, and off-road vehicles.
Note: The factory oil drain plug may require minor relief grinding for proper fitment. Eaton recommends using a GL-5 rated 80W-90 petroleum-mineral based gear oil and avoiding synthetic oils or friction modifiers for best performance.
