Same principal i think... never seen one before tho.

But there are tons of guys on here running the Eaton LSD (not the crappy G80) and love it..

I have blown up the stock G80, replaced it with the Eaton LSD. Broke the spider gears in it, rebuilt it with Yukon replacement spider gears and haven't had a problem since. If I do happen to break them again, I will either try a TruTrac or upgrade the entire rearend.

My buddy has a Yukon in his Z71 and he has already broke it twice.. just a stock truck with a 100 shot..

TruTrac, ARP bearing cap studs, and TA Girdle here, a worthwhile upgrade.....

+1 for the G80 being a POS, here is my damaged unit, thank god I caught it in time before it scattered my rear end all over the road.....note the stripped teeth off the spider gear....
