I'm curious.. when ya'll switch out your G80's are you going the full 9 yards and gettin a whole new rear end?

Or just switchin out the differentials?

 

Most just swap the g-80 carrier for a eaton or truetrax unit. The cost is about 400-500 bucks for the carrier and about another 100 bucks for the gaskets, seals, bearings, and oil needed to do the swap.

 

awesome stuff.. thanks..

the chances of the g80 exploding vs locking up and taking out other **** (transmission) are how likely?


I'm already getting a built transmission.. what are the chances of my g80 locking up and taking the new one out? I don't plan on putting down more then 3-350rwhp/tq..

 

Well mine just freewheeled when it blew, and most seam to do the same. (freewheel) but there is chance that it will lock-up...

 

my dads tahoe has locked up but one side just squals when you turn sharp

 

what are the stock gear ratio's for these things?


And I'm a bit confused.. After the past several days of searching... Eaton Makes Detroit Tru-Trac? I thought Detroit made it...

ALso.. what is this.. My buddy has a 240SX (I beleive it was the S13 bodystyle) anyway whenever he made a turn which ever the inside tire was would sorta skip.. The Tru-Trac would not have this problem correct?

 

Stock could be 4.10, 3.73, 3.23
Eaton makes the Eaton LSD uses clutch packs, they do not make the true trac

 

where can I find out what kinda gearing I got?


and with the tru-trac skip the inside tire during a turn or u-turn?

 

Look in the glove box, there should be a buch of codes. If you have G80, that is the gov-lock diff
If you have
GU5 you have 3.23
GU6 you have 3.42
GT4 you have 3.73
GT5 you have 4.10

Neather one (eaton or auburn detriot) should make the inside tire scip. that shounds like a spool, or a limited splid diff that is not work correctlly

 

Eaton owns Detroit so they are made by Eaton. Detroit True Trac is a great unit, then again so is the Eaton LSD. I would recomend getting the one that you can find a better deal on because you cant go wrong with either one.
