Basically it was looking like maybe $150-200 for a use gov-lock or $400 for a new posi of my choosing. Honestly, this is a street truck, and heavy, so "needing" the traction didnt really justify spending the money. I'd be surprised if it could spin a tire even now.
So I decided I wanted a little more performance, and towing prowess. I ordered some blue box Motive 4.30 gears, part number GM10-430 and a Ratech rebuild kit. I also ordered a Ratech solid pinion spacer. I decided a new cover would be nice also.

I've done some towing upgrades to my Yukon, because I want to feel comfortable towing the Camaro to the racetrack. My estimated trailer weight is 5k to 5.5k pounds total. I obviously have a good trailer brake controller. Then, first and foremost was power, I did a cold air intake, more...
