    What locker shall I go for?

    Sounds good. I haven't ordered yet, but I'm getting close. All the best from southern Sweden where spring has arrived.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Good to hear. When I look in to Eatons Differential Application Guide they show two types that both shall fit to my axle (S.F. 14 bolt 9.5) The list says: K-GM9.5-96 GM 9.5" Rear Master Install kit, Fits 1996 & Older Applications 225C135A and 914A538. Does anyone know what the difference is...

    What locker shall I go for?

    Ahh, nice to hear/see. I've heard that is also how to get a Torsen to engage in a situation where one wheel has no friction. Apply some brake, and it will cut-in.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Do you think that a Torsen will behave like that too?

    Windshield Wiper Intermittent Function

    I had the same on mine -83 C20. Luckily I had the delay module and they are repairable. See https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/back-to-intermittent-wipers.27418/post-541601

    What locker shall I go for?

    My lifestyle? In the countryside, feeding up lambs with my family, and spending leisure time in the garage with my Silverado and Impala 1963. Friday nights with friends at the local bar. Very simple and I like it.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Yes, I'm clear over that, but a 2WD truck, an empty box and a heavy engine over the front wheels very easily get stuck on slippery ground, and I'm pretty sure (hope) that an LSD differential will make a significant difference, even not at all as if it were a 4WD.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Given my use of the truck, daily driving, and work on the farm, the only off-road is out in the field with hay to the animals. With 2 WD just some slippery surfaces and mild leaning ground can cause trouble when the box is empty. So now I'm leaning towards an Eaton TrueTrac. Semmes to be robust...

    What locker shall I go for?

    Im not yet at all clear about what the best choice for me is, but I am leaning toward the Eaton Mlocker. As I understand it it's identical to what was offered by GM originally (RPO G80) and that LSD product provides what is needed for a daily used all originally equipped diesel truck on the...

    What locker shall I go for?

    Mud is much more frequent than snow. What kind of problem do you foresee with a Detroit locker in the snow?

    What locker shall I go for?

    There seem to be a number of options. I have to gather the options and compare them. Once I'm done, I'll come back with my thoughts. Thanks a lot for everybody's input so far. It's beneficial to be a part of this community.

    What locker shall I go for?

    Dream should be a locker I decide when to engage. Is that possible?

    What locker shall I go for?

    What I hope to reach with a locker is not to get stuck standing spinning on nearly flat ground - which easily can happen when it's slippery out in the fields during autumn/winter when the bed is empty and there is very little weight on the rear wheels. I'm a small farmer and the truck is my...

    What locker shall I go for?

    Wow, this Forum is just super. So much knowledge in one place. Great! Were these trucks available with a locker as an option once they were ordered? If so, what type? It seems to be a different technology. Do the three mentioned above—Detroit Locker, Detroit Tru Trac, and LA Locker—all work with...

    What locker shall I go for?

    I drive a C20 1983 Silverado, 6.2 Diesel, 2WD TH700r4, semi-float 14 bolt 9.5 rear 4.10:1. I would like to rebuild the rear axle with the same ratio but with a locker. Can anyone who knows about lockers for this axle give me advice on what type and brand I should go for? All tips are very...

    Unusual radio issue

    Interesting reading. I have the same problem with my Retro sound radio. Not every time but say once a week the radio display don't shut down, but there is no sound and you cant turn the radio off by pressing the left hand button. The only way is to pull the fuse. And if you don't, and the truck...

    Hot wire junction block

    I do agree with Rusty pile, rewire after the original scheme, right color coding, just follow the original scheme - wire by wire. I did that on my truck 10 years ago, and no problem at all since. Question: Where to buy fusible links?

    LED headlight upgrade

    I bought 4 pcs from RMS lighting, two on top for both hi- and low beam and two below these for just hi-beam. Works well and looks great on mine 1983 Silverado c20 Andreas Wickman, Gotland Sweden
