Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Locker options 1999 Dana 80

[jrhodes]

Need some advice on a good reliable locker for the rear end of my truck. Truck has 3. 54 gears and has a factory LS Diff that is worthless. I dont do alot of serious offroading, but when I do venture off road for whatever reason it would be nice to have both back tires push the truck instead of the right rear. Is there anything on the market that provides good locking capabilities but is flexable on U turns and city street driving. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

We are somewhat limited in available locker options for the Dana 80. I would talk to these guys first, I have heard only good things about them -

One member on here posted about tightening up his factory LSD by rearranging the clutch stack. Try a search, it sounds like a good, cheap option to me.

So far I'm LSDless, but I may try to swap in a factory unit with this clutch setup.

There is an ARB air locker for our axles. The last time I checked, they were pretty close to $700 with shipping and that was through 4 Wheel Parts.
