I have a 2018 GMC Sierra Z71, I'm thinking about possibly upgrading the rear end from the G80 to an Eaton E-locker. The truck will never see any true hardcore wheeling and will only ever run a 33-34" tire. That said it has the 6.2L engine that I plan to supercharge. I know that the G80 seems to do ok if you don't beat on it, but does take some time to actually lock up which is not ideal when wheeling.

YES

Especially if you are bumping the horsepower. And an Eaton e-locker will stay engaged on a downhill too.

Thanks Guys, Right now I'm trying to find the easiest way to do a clean install for the switch in the cabin.
