Eaton G80 problem
I am working on my brothers Silverado fixing multiple things. One problem is the locking differential isn't unlocking. I have read that contaminated fluid can cause it, but I also know they are prone to failure. I am going to pull the cover and see if there is any sign of damage and if not I am going to put fresh fluid in and see what happens. Anyone else have this problem ? It is a 1500 so it has friction material on the clutch plates instead of all steel like the 2500's.
One other question. I am replacing brake lines too. Most kits I find don't have the gravel guards on the lines. Will this be ok ? The truck has 323,000 miles on it so he doesn't want to dump a bunch of money in it.
