Locking front diff.?
Truck is in my sig. Do Z71s come with locking front diffs? I was told by the dealership that all 4x4 trucks now come from the factory with locking front differentials and I can't really find any information on this. Can anyone confirm this?

You can't really lock the front diff if you plan on using it for on road use. To my knowledge GM has never put anything other than an open diff up front in any vehicle they have ever manufactured.

No one makes anything for a 8.25 ifs front end gm doesn't aftermarket doesn't no one does. the only way to get it to spin both tires would be to weld it witch i'm not sure if you can even do that.
