I have a 2003 Silverado LS extended cab that only burns iu from one wheel, I've done research and found out it's an open diffential since I do not have G80 in my Glove box. While doing research I found out to burnout two wheels I need to buy a G80 Eaton differential lock or a Detroit tru trac. I see people saying tru trac is better. I have no knowlege about this.

G80 or Tru Trac

How much will it cost for the lock and to get it installed in California?

Do I have to buy the lock or a whole new axle?

will I be able to burnout with two tires with G80 and Tru Trac?

I haven't tried burning out just assuming. It's burning one tire since there is no G80 in my glove box

i want to take this truck to truck invasion to burnout so will it also be able to drift with either the trutrac or g80?

A buddy of mine got a locking rear end and the whole axle and everything at a junk yard for $500 for his F250 powerstroke. If you're planning on beating it often, I'd get something that's locked all the time.

 

My dad has a locker in his 7.3 diesel van. It only unlocks when you go around a corner and aren't on the gas. Other than that, it's locked all the time. Traction is better than the G80 in my truck because the G80 has to spin a wheel first before it engages. My dads locker is always engaged

I would do a bit of research on the Detroit Locker TurTrac it should be tough enough to take your abuse. Not sure why anyone would want to drift a PU truck though, they are top heavy and not well for/aft weight balanced. That combination will typically end in disaster........that makes for great youtube drifting fail best of the year awards LOL will be looking for you, can you post a pic of the truck before you crash it so I will recognize it?

What kind of locker should I get that is always locked?

If you do have a G80 then I suggest you stop trying to do burnouts. Back in the day on here that was the biggest cause for the G80 blowing up.

So then should I just get the Detroit Tru trac?

Haha don't listen to them, drifting trucks is fun. I've had some close calls but it's all part of the game

The g80 is a low speed locker. Designed for low speed engagement in low traction situations. It will blowup with repeated burnouts. Just ask YouTube ;-)

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
