Yep, definitely understand that. I've been considering some type of selectable for mine. Would help a lot on the ramp. It's a cool, functional mod not too many people have.

I put the Eaton LSD in my '03 truck, I managed to go from spinning one tire to spinning two tires and still having to have the boat push me halfway up the ramp

honestly, for what you are looking for the stock G80 should be perfect. It won't see hard use and it will do what you are asking with no problems.

no a g80 will get abuse from me. im hard on my truck

in that case then, I would look hard at the Detroit Trutrac, it's smooth in operation yet tough. We used the Trutrac in a 1/2 ton truck that received a 6.0L swap along with a nasty cam, high stall converter and of course all of the other fixing to go along with it. The truck saw MANY passes at the track and never gave any problems. This rear end drove smooth as can be on the road.

For the record I also had a Powertrax No Slip differential - this converts an open differential into a true locker. It was ROUGH, jerky and aggravating to drive on the street. It would lock up at random sometimes and drag the inside tire, pop loudly when it unlocked (like a gun shot in a parking garage)... but it was tough.

Is it possible that the previous owner of my truck had the dealer install 4.10s because my dash sticker says gt4 which is 3.73s but the previous owner said it had 4.10s

Sure its possible. To find out for sure, mark the drive shaft and the tire. Then count the number of revolutions of the drive shaft that makes the tire go around 1 time.
