no problem, its pretty high on my list to do. The conversion for us NBS guys is pretty easy, although im sure its not hard to find a leaf 14 bolt. You could prob. grab one out of any 2500

My g80 has 299k on it and still works great in the snow. I wouldn't plan on going rock crawling with it.

The G80 is great if your a soccer mom on a rainy day...I always wondered why people trash talked this G80, it was intended for just that, various "rare" condtions, not harsh offroad stuff constantly locking up, Eaton is a good company, it is just time for something reliable in a constant setting. True trac looks good...Im about to order the setup- thinking about a helical locker for the front, as long as i get the rear locking right first. Thanks for all the input.

If you can find a locker for the front let me know. I spent months searching and the best I could find is that the aluminum housing is too weak to handle the torque load of a locking differential.
But if you can find a locker and a solution to the weak housing problem, I'd like to know.
