The locking rear has been available for many years, but is an option (not standard on any model or year). Check the glove box RPO list for "G80".

you can always go aftermarket-- try www.arbusa.com or the new electric locker from Eaton (Tractech). if ur rig does not have a G80, then its likely cheaper and more beefy to go aftermarket.

The G80 was standard in the 2002 model year on the 2500 Suburban and YukonXL.

Also standard on Z71 Suburban & Tahoe. These locking diffs are awesome when there is anything more than 3-4 inches of snow! Very tough to get in trouble.

    • About the only GM that compares well with its competitors through the small to midsize vehicles is the Trax. I would like nothing better to just drive GMs. My wife in a Cadillac me in a Chevy minivan and Colorado. Part of my day is comprised of reading and watching comparisons of automobile. I could buy a car today. I’m back to research the next.
