+1 for Ron too. Just got my truetrac and 410s from him. Also ordered a TA Performance Girdle too. Might want to scoop one of those up too.

My G80 went out at 30,000 miles so I had it replaced under warranty. I have a little over 69,000 miles now and it recently started giving me problem. I pulled the cover didn't see anything wrong and nothing out of the ordinary (metal) in gear oil. I replaced the gear oil with Mobile One synthetic gear oil (recommended by a friend who is a mechanic at a GMC dealership) and so far no noise from the G80 and it hasn't singled out. Gonna go to the track soon for the real test. I'm also saving up for a tru trac because I know it is only a matter of time before the G80 goes out.

What were you doing when yours went out? Normal Driving, burnout, or launch?
