The G80 does not have spider gears just clutches. Meaning you will have to replace the whole carrier.

It has gears in it but they are not your regular spider gears. Also a trutrac or any other real locker or posi will replace the whole carrier. I don't know if they make a lockrite for our rearend. But even if they did you would need and open diff carrier for it to work.
So your only options are new g80 or a trutrac or other posi.

G80 is not rebuildable(without special tools that the dealer doesn't even have....). Replace it with an Eaton LSD or tru-trac.
