Default need new posi...Which one?

I need to get a new posi for my 00 Z71 Silverado.
the POS Gov lock is giving me the one wheel wonder.

I do some off roading, run 33x12.5x16 tires and am sick of the one wheel wonder when making a right hand turn into traffic.

What are my new diff options? Thanks for the info.

I've heard that the Eatons are good, but they're not as good as the Auburn Pro Series. The problem is the Pro Series is like $100+ more. Auburn has a cheaper line that's the same price as the Eaton, but the dollar for dollar the Eaton is the way to go.

Of course if you're serious about off roading, you might consider a Detroit locker? Just some food for thought.

Exactly, I think that's why GM used put Eatons in from the factory back in the day.

I would get an Eaton but it you are still leaning towards Auburn, go with the Pro series. My non pro model decided to take a 17 month break and is now working again.
