@rgonza43 right, im not doubting that the age of the truck my not have the G80 in it a bit slow. normally it locks up right away as well, but for some reason did not in this video.
How many kms (or miles) I didnt know I had it either because I thought v6 manual meant straight, but started suspecting it when going through muddy holes. Mines at 265 000 still working !
@Veikra its only got 130,000 miles on it. if your not sure if you have a G80 or not just look in the glove box and there will be a information sticker with a lot of codes on it. look for G80...if you see it you have it, if you dont....you get the picture.
@javojjaaf I know it, opened it up for oil change and rear bearing seals change. No way in hell it could have been an open diff the way the truck moved. The guy that had it before bought it at the dealership, So I guess he built it that way. He just didnt need the 4x4 or the v8 so he must have put all the z71 stuff on a 4.3l manual.
I have the g80 in my 04 2wd 5.3L and didn't know I had it for the longest time either haha. Yeah they are great to have especially when you start to bolt on parts and try to get more performance out of your engine like a cam etc. You don't want the one tire fire lol.
@TreeThunder thanks! its a great diff, i just wish it was selectable where you can turn it on and off. i didnt realize that gm had been using the G80 for so long.
Mine dosnt have the G80 code so i installed a locker lol
