Yes this no nonsense no trying to sound like supper tech just show me what I need to see and move along, you are awsome man

Ahh yes the Gov Bomb. Blew mine up on Saturday doing 65mph down the road and all of a sudden it just locks up 😂 got parts on the way so it shouldn’t be down for to long.

Here's the thing with these rear end's. Eaton made them specifically for gm and they are rated by eaton for gm and gm builds a vehicle around that rating and it will last for years but like all moving parts they will wear and adding stress to moving parts to which they are not rated will cause damge. That being said eaton also created such things to handle that stress in 14 bolt 9 and a half and 14 bolt 11 inch specifically for this purpouse. Now flooring a thirty year old rear differential with 300,000 miles on it and the oil has never been changed doesnt make it a horrible thing or putting giant wheels and tires on a high speed diff and trying to take off like a race car doesnt make it a bad thing. Now using as the manufacture built around it is one of the most awsome things ever created for a vehicle especially a 4 wheel drive. Yes i have broke them but i was way out of specs and mostly due to my own ignorance. That being said i have broke one of the drive gears in one and if not for the locking thing i would not have made it home as it would catch and turn the other wheel until it released at 20 something mph and start free spining so i let off the gas and slow down and get back in it and it would lock again and away i went yes it took a while at this pace but i wasnt stranded and made it home. I now have a 14 bolt corporate locker in place that can take a beating and changed 3.42's to 4.10's with my 4 inch lifted suburban 4x4 and big wheels and tires you know the proper way and it is literally a monster. Easy turning nice and smooth no binding from stress. That thing will pull a house apart as before i would pull the truck apart.

Hey , to start you gave no audio on what you were doing that might help someone doing this for the first time.

Don't abuse these differentials and they are just fine.

To make it easier on pulling that spider pin, just spin one axle or the other a little bit and it will slide right out. I kinda cringed a bit when u put the bolt back in and pryed on it lol.

Awesome vid except you didn't show how you took the driveshaft off

Thanks for the video

How do you know when it’s locked up?

Holy lift blocks Batman!

Deadblow hammer and heat of the momment on tune love it. Had my suburban diff explode on me. This video inspired me to not give up. Thanks man!

Thank you!! 🙌🏽👏🏽 your video came in clutch I couldn’t get my carrier out and your technique with a wrench on a bottom bolt of the ring bolt to stop rotation while prying on the top bolt of the ring took me 2 seconds to do after an hour of getting no where! Grateful! Thanks for this great content!

Just had my g80 granade on me thanks a ton this video helped me with the disassembly alot

Thank you for the help.

G80 diff lock is actually very, very robust. This truck probably has a oversized 35" tire (there's like 5" lift you can see in the video) and the driver was wheeling the shit out of this. He probably put pedal to the metal while rock climbing.

Great video my man I’m trying to diy this rn. Helped a ton

👍 nice work!

Great video yet I have a Chevy Equinox Awd and had the passenger side rear axle replaced due to issue at wheel end , yet it’s hanging out 3inches from differential and no longer flush... do you think this happened due to replacement of new axle the c-clip was not set and locked properly? I’m trying to understand why this happened, it was done 8 months ago? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Trying to get the center pin out of my 93 2wd sierra. It moves about half and inch but won't go any more. I've tried hitting it but I have no luck. The rear end was rebuilt 2years ago(previous owner) except for the oem carrier limited. Really need advice. Thank y'all.

How hard it it to replace those nesting gears in the differential. I got the whole unit out of the truck and only thing wrong is the nesting gears starting to grind. It's pretty much the same as this one. A gm locker on it
