Select Trac or Command Trac?

[JeepJeepster]

They used the Select trac tcase in the grands, cherokees, Durangos, etc and Ive never heard of massive problems with them breaking.

You may need to make sure the select trac 2 has the same options there tjkj.

Oh that's right they deleted the part-time option on the select-tracII didn't they,now that really makes the select-tracII worthless.

 

[JeepJeepster]

Exactly.

ok so that brings me to my point that the original command trac, which is the direct link hand actuated engagement, is superior for true usage.

most consumers probably view it as a downgrade but it is the true sense of engaging an option when you need it and not when the vehicle decides.

too many damn options if you ask me, either put a locking diff option in, or dont, why have so many variations on something that A LOT of people never use.

Try having 2 t-case shifters ,if I had a little more money I would have 3 shifters(AtlasIII 4-speed t-case).

It would be nice to have Select trac but does anybody know if it has a real center diff or is it a flimsy Viscous coupling?

Tony........fsm says it has a center diff in it.
