GM uses the Eaton, the strongest of the bunch. IIRC Ford uses a mid range strength style limites slip, Dodge the weakest.....Might be the other way around too.......
Randys R&P is in Everett, so pretty close to you depending upon where you are in Wa st.
I got quoted 1200 or so to put an eaton in my GM pickup that is open. IIRC I have a 9.5" RA. Might be the AAM10.5 or GM C14....it is not the biggest RA that goes in to GM 2500's of the 2000 year. I've had 3 other rigs with Eatons, they work very well. Last two pickups, I went places in rwd where I needed 4wd with the pickup before that did not have a limited slip. Ex wifes Astro did better with the Eaton than the 88 pickup I had did in snow/ice etc.
The eaton is probably the best limited slip out there, or the least effective locker per say vs a Detroit. THose are fun at times. The eaton is a good mix of locker vs limited slip, with good overall road manners no matter the conditions.
