d@mn P.O.S. G80
Went to the track this past Friday night. 1st pass I launched easy 2.13 60ft. 2nd pass I tried to launch a little harder and I hear "bang" "bang" a familiar sound. At launch both back tires started to spin slightly but then the driver side back tire stopped and started spinning a couple times. My truck did the same thing when it had 30,000 miles and I had the G80 replaced under warranty. Another 30,000 miles and the G80 going out again.
I'm going to order an Eaton positive unit but I'm trying to decided if I want to keep the 3.73 gear or go to a 4.10. Where is the best place to order the Eaton Positive Unit?

A friend of mine has a 98 model extended cab silverado with a 383 and STS Turbo. He is running the Eaton and hasn't had any trouble with it, which is why I was going to go with the Eaton. I do have friends with 4x4s that run detroits. They too work great but seemed a little noisy when they lock/unlock when turning. I'm going to do a little research on the detroit trutrac.....thanks for the reply.

sucks to hear Mason.
i'm running the eaton lsd you speak of and motive 4.10's.
i set up the gears and the unit myself @ 25k miles. now 57k miles & over 300 track passes later it's still getting the job done. if your stuck between the 3.73's and 4.10's just go w/ some 3.90's.

OEM AAM gears cost a whooping $50 more than Motive gears ($150 vs $200) and only $10 more than Yukon gears and are superior. Ron will take care of you, he has for many members here

Also, here's a nice read on the Eaton LSD vs. the Eaton Detroit Trutrac (Eaton also makes the G80 BTW)
