Towing a TT with Lockers
Does anyone tow their TT and have a locker in the rear? I'm looking at re-gearing my truck to 4:10, and adding a locker in there at the same time. THanks

GM2500's, at least the diesels, have come std. with the eaton G-80 autolocker since 2001 or so. and it is a true locking differential capable of 100%/0% torque split unlike a LSD which can split torque but not 100% on any I'm aware of.
It works great, not an issue towing. one nice thing about the G80 is that it won't lock above about 25MPH so it doesn't have the tendency to slide toward the inside of a turn on slippery roads once your moving.
but with the g80 it isn't hard to chirp the tires on a right hand turn from a stop since it will lock pretty quickly.
In any event, IMHO a 4wd w/o a posi/LSD or G80 autolocker is a mistake.
