Matt, thanks for reposting that video.

I agree that the G80 really is a well thought out device. But it does seem to use clutches to facilitate "locking".

I found a number of references on a Chevy Truck forum about the G80 not working, but never any reference to why not.

The Tru-Track looks to be more sound in materials and design.

I really only want to have the rear end apart once.

So does your transmission and transfer case. Without clutches you'd get whiplash.

Or you would stop/slow to engage it as is required in my clutchless toyota transfer case (and no, using the transmission clutch won't help ) I'm kind of thinking mechanical lockers (air and electric) require stopping/slowing as well.

Did you ever find out what was wrong with it? I'm having issues with mine now. :-k

No, I never did. I replaced it with a Truetrac.

How do you like the TruTrack? I'm considering putting one of those in the front and rear, along with 4:10s.

Correction: Truetrac

I haven't had much time to test it yet. I can say without the front end engaged, it likes to go sideways upon acceleration in the snow...
