I have a G80 that went bye bye last week. This truck only sees highways and paved roads. Looking at the prices of a new or even used G80 carrier is ridiculous. It is possibly to just swap out the G80 carrier and install an open rear end?

Yeah you could or buy an aftermarket locker that is better.

Either way it's going to cost you money in new bearings and setting everything back up so it works.

  Trying to install a jump seat instead of center console, but have to remove the Bose sub. Any ideas on where to relocate that sub or replacement options for under seat with harness? Haven’t messed much with audio before.

  ...was looking to see what the 3 post OP had to say since they've got a personal issue here and 3 different threads they made within the same time period...just today....and then regurgitating that some owners on facebook and other forums have issues which is a small number out of total ownership of 3.0 Duramaxes.

  Just a guess based on the mentions I've seen on this forum... Failing coolant control valves (LM2, LZ0) No start / long crank issues (LM2) Thrust bearing failures (LZ0) Timing chain failures (LM2) Fingers crossed GM has more revisions and updates in the work because the 3.0 is awesome (when it can be trusted).
