Re: 1970 GMC Suburban... for the family

My girls do not understand the operation of a Gov-Lock and do not drive accordingly. My wife blew the 2000 Suburban 10 bolt in Monterey when our daughter lived up there going to college. Our daughter lived on a hill and during the rain she pulled away from the curb and it started to spin a tire. She gassed it and bang! Same with the Blazer, our daughter was on Beach Blvd in an early morning rain, she tried to pass a bus at an intersection, hit the gas going across the paint stripe and bang! Our son Joe just flat wore his 10 bolt out in his Tahoe. I suspect it had been used for towing a lot and the housing was slightly bent (oil weeping from the right axle tube at the center section). It finally gave up the ghost at about 270,000 miles!
