Detroit Trutrac install. Other items to upgrade?

[95bucket]

Should I consider upgrading/ replacing axles? Carrier? Other things? (while installing a new diff). Thx

I put a truetrac in my 01 1500 with the 10 bolt back in 2009, no other upgrades, and never had a problem. Mostly stock drivetrain, saw a little off roading.

If you think you'll ever want to change gears, do it now. Also you'll need an install kit with special bearings if the TrueTrac is going into a 10 bolt. (You never mentioned what rear end you're putting this into...)

EDIT - Here's a Motive kit with nice Timken bearings in the sizes you'll need for a 10 bolt TrueTrac installation.

I have a 95 k2500 with a 14 bolt sfa and 6 lug. I guess I won't need this.

Nope, you should be fine with the stock size bearings. I'd go ahead and replace them while you're in there, though. Here's the Motive master rebuild kit for the 9.5" 14 bolt SF. (With Timken bearings)
