    G80 Locker

    I've read about this locker and seem to hear a lot more bad than good about it. Wondering if anyone has had one blow up like I've heard people talk about?

    I enjoyed mine when i was it in mud or snow, Mostly Depends on your driving habits/abuse level or how much power your running+if youv'e got sticky tires/huge tires

    I've blown up 2 with a stock engine and trans took my trans with it last time it died, it didn't go gracefully... get something tougher if your going to spend money on one

    The factory lockers are good for stock power levels. If performance upgrades are in the works, I would say get a Eaton or Detroit locker and never worry about it. Just my .02

    for build info

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    I've probably seen 100 "grenade" in the 8yrs I've been at the stealership.They just don't seem to enjoy extra torque/power as much as we do.
