You are going to love that truck. I spent a couple of weeks
with a friend's 2002 Duramax/allison 4x4 crew cab, and he
had to pry my fingers off the steering wheel to get it back.
The Eaton "locker" (G80 option code)they put in these
trucks should hold up fine. It is technically a limited
slip, but it is a pretty firm lockup. Where they get abused
is on pavement or rock, where too much throttle and perhaps
application of the brake (power braking) causes them to
grenade. If you are concerned, put in the Detroit in a
Detroit EZ locker or a Lockrite. I love the G80 in my 99
Suburban though - sure wish I had the Duramax.
