4.10s have always been an option in any fullsize truck from chevy as the trailering option. the low ratio(more common) was always 3.42 on the obs truck but i guess they changed to 3.73 in the really late obs, i see they also have the new body stlye steering wheels in the 98s.

the g80 is just the code for the eaton gov-lock locker. otherwise know as the gov-bomb, on the 10 bolt rear ends(what you have, all half tons have) it is know for blowing up in your rear end as they get old and worn out, literally blowing up to the paint were your gears and all will get destroyed, iv even seen pics of things tearing through the diff cover lol, do a search on fullsizechevy. the g80 in the 14bolts just get worn out, but don't blow up. unfortunately you have the 10 bolt rearend... but since its not that old of a truck you probably wont have any problems with it, just something to keep in mind when your doing a burnout or anything abusive like that. with big tires you will blow that 10 bolt like nothing, mine blew like it was no big deal. just when your doing a burnout or mudding the truck or something, roll into the gas, dont ever just nail it from the line, stall it up first and roll into it and youll be fine. also keep in mind, if you snap an axle on that rear end, the axle will be coming completely out of the rearend meaning the back of your bed will be destroyed by your tire lol. just be carefull with it. whoever thought that these trucks should come with 10 bolt rearends should be shot... so that being said, go out and have fun with it! lol

heres what happened to my g lock. dont drop the clutch at 2 grand with 38's even if your in soft dirt.

Chevy1500z71 · July 21, 2008, 12:15:50 AM

mine had an open carrier with a slide in locker, i gave it a bit to much gas just casually leaving a red light and BOOM. i split the carrier all the way around one half of it, it broke the lunch box locker too.

you can see the split at the bottom of the carrier

the 10 bolts are pretty whimpy... especially with 35s and a blower lol

i ended up replacing the carrier with a detroit full locker, and i had to change the pinion seal anyway so i fully rebuilt it... what a waist of money, but i couldnt get a deal on any 14 bolts.

on that vin thing you sent me did you see the HOUSING ASSEMBLY, DIFFERENTIAL - REAR DIFFERENTIAL replace?

kfx400rob · July 23, 2008, 02:21:35 AM

yea thats the service stuff, it says your axle was replaced at a dealer at like 30k miles... i guess thats a good thing, your axle has 30k less on it then the rest of the truck lol.

i know you want to use your paint gun and your truck looks fine in red. so heres the solution. come down to my house with the gun and prep and paint my truck for me, and if you could sand the rust spots on the cab corners for me to that would be great... if you do a good job maybe ill give you that old hood visor siting in my garage.

kfx400rob · August 03, 2008, 10:14:54 PM

a gasser sled pulling? thats about as queer as a football bat. but seriously both trucks would look better in a solid color imo.

WOODY_450r · August 04, 2008, 12:52:30 AM

i like the darker red with a gray line between the red and black better

kfx400rob · August 04, 2008, 01:46:41 AM

go to walmart and get goo-gone extreme, it works amazing on the goop that the trim leaves on your paint.
