Did '01 and '02 Yukon Denalis come standard with G80?

I'm shopping around online for a replacement rear axle and trying to figure out what all vehicles I can pull from without having to see the sticker in the glovebox. I think the G80 rear axle (locking) was done away with the 2003 Yukon Denalis onward, but it was at least available on the 2001 and 2002 models. Does anyone know if it was a standard option during those two years?

my 05 tahoe has a g80. but iirc the Denali has different gearing.

All of the '01 and '02 Denalis I've come across so far have been 3.73. Sellers always advertise the ratio, but often times leave out whether it's a locker or not. And trying to get a large salvage yard to confirm something like that over the phone is almost as hard as getting water out of an oil spout.

My 08 Yukon XL Denali has the G80 rear end OEM, with 3:42 gears.
