    Ah, I haven&#39;t seen many Z71s with an open rear.

    My truck didn&#39;t have a G80 but it&#39;s a Z71 with a tow and plow pkg. Planned on a Eaton anyway.

    It was not the factory posi. It was a one wheeled wonder. Thats why I thought it might last a little while. I missed a new posi on ebay for 350.00 Now I am out 489.

    I am idiot. It was a G80 may it rest in peace.
    It spun 1 wheel an aweful lot.

    My wife was so pissed I was able slip this purchase through. She has no idea how much all this crap really cost. I sure do love her.

    Thanks Mr P.








    Wig Wag switch and a switch that is not being used yet. Maybe a rocket launcher or something kool.
    See the coffee I spilled when the rearend blew and I laid on the brakes. I spilled my whole cup of coffee on the dash.

    Sony radio I swapped out while the truck is lame and waiting on the rear parts to get pressed on. The damn thing died shortly after. I put the old one back in and it was dead too.
    I looked for my test light for an hour before I realized the LED for the switches I wired in would work. The radio has power but won&#39;t work. Fuse not blown on either radio. Both are sonys so no rewiring. I realized the battery was dead when I tried to roll up the windows. They were real sloooooooooowwww . . . Might be the problem.

    Well crap. Leave this morning taking my wife to the Eye Dr. in Atlanta and anything above 75 mph gets this weird vibration that gets worse the faster you go.
    Drive shaft ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? The hunt begins.

    Well Drive shaft is warped. I suspected as much with as much trauma it went through. I will be calling Dennys driveshafts in the morning. Anyone know how long I should expect and maybe which shaft to get.
    I am all ears for suggestions.

    no thats the g80. its known to grenade like that. check out the detroit tru-trac. gears instead of clutches which is a + in my book.
