Hey guys, i was taking off from a stop and gave the throttle a quick stab and.. BANG! i thought , oh **** and quickly pulled over thinking a u joint broke. but there was nothing hanging or leaking. Then came home and got in the grass and gave it a little gas and it wont even go , just spins, had to put it in 4x4 to move! IS MY G80 HISTORY? what should i replace it with? Thanks guys. -TIM

If its a goner, this would prob be a good time to throw a Eaton LSD in there???

When I still had mine in it would engage with a bang.

sounds like the G80 to me... mine sounded VERY similar to that.... now its parked... with the driveshafts out of it.

Replace it with an Eaton LSD unless you have big plans in the near future (and then do a 14 bolt).

Good Ridance if it is! Your going to be so much happier with a Eaton or comparable. My buddy CRAZYCUTER4.8 used to work at a Chevy dealership as a service manager so he could replace things that broke easily. He went through 3 G80 when his boss told him thats it! For some odd reason it took him 3 trannies to put a end to replacing them! HEHE!

I got a good deal on a Detroit true trac so here comes my next mod!! I hope i made a good choice! BTW i was told that detroit and eaton are part of the same company?.

I had an eaton and it went boom. Many here are happy with them and so was I until it went out and took out the rest of my gears.

I went with the Yukon brand of posi. I wish I had side by side pics, but the Yukon actually looks more beefier. Very similar design. Yukon has more of an enclosed case than the eaton. I was told they are very similar inside.

Havent drove the truck with the Yukon posi, so no comment as far as driveability.
