The only way you'd have a Trutrac in your car is if you have an F or G series diff in there. I'd suggest your diff mechanic has mistaken the LSD centre?

TrueTrac make centres for dozens of diffs... why do you assume they don't make them for T series diffs? Even if they don't make them now it's quite likely they did at some point.
A TrueTrac is a helical type LSD, sometimes called a TorSen (or Torque Sensing) diff. It's a torque multiplying unit, which means it locks up in proportion to the amount of torque being applied to the unit, so the more you sink the boot the more LSD effect you get - and conversely, when you're trundling around town it acts just like a normal open centre. That's why they're so damn good! The only downside is when you lift a wheel off the ground you get zero LSD effect - torque multiplication is of little use when you start with a torque of zero! The recommended fix in this situation is to apply the brakes, thus loading up the diff and allowing the torque multiplication to start working.
