2500hd without g80

What about replacing the g80 with a torsen setup?

I just love the predictability of a spool, you can always count on that thing to spin both. May slide alot but you always know it's gonna do it. Obviously not for everyone but a lincoln locker fits nicely into my budget.

It will make a black ice incident worse than an open diff/g80. Same for an auto locker

When you know it's there, it's a blast. When that shit catches you off guard, you just pray lol.

Every time it got me I was going slow. Made for some good stories lol

I had my cruise set at 75 coming home from butler in 2010, as soon as I hit the WV line my LLY went sideways, I killed the cruise and threw it in neutral and it stayed sideways for over a 1/4 mile, it felt like 3 miles, still wonder how I missed traffic I was passing, my buddy must have said oh **** 20 times, lol.

It was fun in the rain when screwing around
Just driving home & end up totalling the truck not so much

What's different? Only thing that could be different is the axle splines? If that's the case I'll tear mine down, just haven't messed with one yet so I k ow it'll take forever and 5 trips to town.

The whole housing is beefed up with extra structural reinforcements for the Duramax.

I can get a whole aam dodge 11.5 with brakes for 400 is it worth just swapping the hole rear end

Are the Dodge's wider than GM?

 

[WVRigrat05]

4" wider IIRC, which would eliminate the need for spacers to make the tires even.

The spring perches will need moved too.
