Rear locking diff?

I was looking at the gear code sticky above and felt a negative vibe goin with the G80 code. Why are they bad?

G80= GovBomb for the 10 Bolts. Watch the video to see what happens when they explode inside you differential

i dont do any crazy off road just go on the loose sand at hatteras and light mud at my friends

I have one too. The best option is to just wait it out. The carrier is made for the G80, so to rid yourself of it you basically have to replace the whole axle.

I had one and it never went. I now run tru-trac in both trucks

Could you fit the whole rear axle from a 2500 in there?

Yes. A 9.5 14 bolt will fit. Some 1500's came with them factory. They are 6 lug. You can also find the 9.5 in a 8 lug fashion, which can be converted down to a 6 lug.

Also, I was reading a thread on another forum about converting a 10.5 14 bolt (full float) down to 6 lugs. That might cost more than finding a SF however. You will need a different u-joint either way. And some other small odd's and ends.

This is if you find a 14b out of a OBS truck. NBS, NNBS or OOBS would need some modifications however but very do-able

Sweet Hopfully I won't need to swap but it's good knowing I can do a swap fairly easily
