2011年1月15日 · Better test of the G80 -- jack up one wheel, put it in gear at idle, then let off the brake. If the G80 works, the wheel should start to spin, then lock up. Be carefull not to jump the truck off the jack and through the garage door.

2023年2月15日 · Is the G80 a locker or a limited slip? When the vehicle is driven under normal conditions, the G80 will work as a limited-slip differential with a light bias. However, if any low traction trigger arises that leads to a rear-wheel speed difference that exceeds 100 RPM, the G80 works as a locking differential.

2013年2月2日 · A GM limited slip diff, the G80, may not operate, or lock up as it should. This is an easy test to determine if it is locking.

Now ...

2012年6月20日 · Avoid the G80 Eaton Gov-Lok. It doesn't get the name Gov-Bomb for no reason at all. You can even cheap out and go with a Lunchbox locker in an open diff without having to reset up your ring and pinion if you can tolerate a bit of harshness on turns and maybe some ratcheting noises from the rear axle.
