Re: What did you do to your truck today??
I installed a Gov-Lock differential carrier in my '89 K1500 today. Got it out of a '97 Suburban K1500 that had the G80 option. The Suburban gears were 3.73, and mine are 3.42, but the same carrier works for both. I was not expecting the left-handed ring gear bolts.
Took it for a test drive. Put one wheel on gravel and the other on pavement and then punched the throttle. The gravel wheel peeled out a little bit initially, and then the diff locked up as it should. A friend of mine said he had one of these explode on him once, so I'll need to be gentle with it.
