Open glove box and check the SPID label for G80 for a GovBomb Limited Slip.

Ok ya I did that as soon as I got home and yes it does say g80 so what additive do I use exactly and any help with the vehicle pulling left after posi burn off

 

[RetroC10Sport]

I would say your GovBomb is done wore out.

Well that's just gay now isn't it do you think itd maye help to put the additive in it I just changed the fluid it was old and nasty but oreiley said that you should never add limited slip additives but I called the Chevrolet dealer an told him the it has the g80 and the year an model and he said yea put the addative

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Yeah, my Blazer doesn't have the G80. But you might get a little more out of it if you use the additive. Burnouts aren't good for a G80, I've seen some blown to hell GovBombs after burnouts, not pretty.

I had an S10 blazer with a busted G80 and it sucked. An open diff would at least transfer left/right but it seemed this one only put power to the left wheel. Better baby that thing or upgrade if you plan on continuing to abuse it.

I once had a G80 intermittently cause a mega pull due to a 225/75 tire on one side and a 235/75 on the other side.

Ya i bet it would considering hose are two different size tires every time your LSD locked it would pull hard my buddy shattered his spider gears runner like 353s in back and 373 in front on his lift k5 blazer

A small difference in tire size isn't supposed to matter though, because it's not supposed to lock up at speeds over 25 mph. The slight difference in tire size "shouldn't" cause enough difference in axle shaft speeds to make it lock up at slow speeds either. Point was... it was a G80 that didn't function properly and caused a pull, lol.

Agreed...otherwise, you would b e screwed when you blow a tire on the freeway.

Or that's why you just carry a full size tire and it also says not to drive more than 50 miles or some thing like that

We're not talking a big difference in tire size here. Sometimes there is more difference running two brands of the same size tire. Heck, even if both tires are the same, having a right rear tire that is simply worn down more could upset a malfunctioning Gov-loc.
