Damn Grippy , I don't know if i can beat that time. Sorry to hear about the G80. I'm waiting for mine to blow. I think it may have something to do with scheduling track day on Friday the 13th. Kind of sounds like my last track day.

Tough break. No pun intended. Part breakage has gotta be expected. Just moving the weakest link on down the line.

I put a Auburn posi in after I got tired of using the right rear as an eraser through intersections It has worked great since then. Don't bother with another G80....

So They make aftermarket locker for the AAM 10.5 now ???

For reference:
There two GM 10.5 full floaters,

Old Corp 10.5" 14 bolt, which use three bearing support on pinion gear. Third bearing support is on the end, cradleing the pinoin gear.

New AAM 10.5 14 bolt, which is made by American Axle and Manufacturing, uses the regular and more common style pinion bearing support where the pinion over hangs the bearing.
It's the newer AAM, the 10.50" G80 seemed to be a stout unit according to what I've read, however, real world, well, not so impressive.

Now that I think about, traction has been an issue for me since day one of the Radix install, and lately it didn't seem to bark off the line like it used to.......maybe too many G-tech 0-60 runs.

I wouldn't say I'm exactly hard on it, but I'm not easy on it either
