Yes G80 = factory locking rear differential, but has gained the nicname "Gov-Bomb" for breaking and chewing up a good ring & pinion. I would still opt for a full carrier Detroit if given the option. It may add $500 to the build but it will be worth it. I know, it sux to spend that much on something you never see.

Your the Man! Thanks for the advice. I like the sound of 4.56 with 35" tires :) Especially since it's going to be more of a weekend thing than a DD. this might be a dumb question to you guys but... here it goes. The photo I posted of the factory sticker parts description on the wheel well, It says It came with a locking differential. Does that mean the rear has a locking Differential off the line?

That should mean it has Posi-trac limited slip I *think*.


Very clean truck, I would almost leave it alone but if you want to sell those BFG tires I might be interested.
