I had a 98 GMC Sonoma 2wd I bought new and quickly realized trucks need a locker or 4wd. I've since owned 3 4x4 jeeps and now my 2014 GMC Crew 4x4 with G80 locker.

So if I just get one of these off eBay it should go in without a problem and no other needed parts right?

I dont think that is even the right unit. It is listed as being for an 8.5 inch differential, but I am pretty sure the 2014-16 trucks that are not tow max have a 9.5 inch differential.

I just checked the model number listed on that ebay listing and according to Amazon, and another ebay listing, that unit will not fit.

For a 2015 you are limited on what carriers you can run for direct swap. I think they have a Tru Trac and a clutch pack limited slip and of course the gov junk oem thing. But with the right bits a 9.5" 14 bolt carrier from 2013 and prior will work and then you can buy anything. The aftermarket is pathetically dragging ass on making parts for these trucks.

Why does everyone trash the G80??

 

I have beat mine to hell in my colorado and it has been nothing but amazing.

 

And i have blown 6 transmissions.... Long story short.... A lot of nitrous.... Moving on

 

 

Drag radials and with my 3200 stall off the line i spray after the 60ft literally 100s of passes and i have yet to have a problem with my G80. The one in my work truck also takes an absolute beating and hols up just fine.

The G80 is good locker and I also don't know why people bash it. I drive off road for a living and have had 3 GM trucks with the G80 and never a problem and I also never go into 4wd unless I need to, just let the locker do the work for me. If you give it hell and abuse it then yes it may explode but you are going to have to be pretty darn hard on it. My current work truck is a f150 with an electronic locker which I kind of like but I have to remember to engage it before I head up a muddy logging road and many times I don't remember till I start sliding sideways.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.
