Default Locking diff

I need a locking diff. for my truck, I just got the 4.10's and well my truck doesn't have a G80 so I figured there was no point in putting them in with out some kind of possy unit. So if you guy's can please help me out I need to get a possy unit, I would highly appriciate it thanks.

concensus seems to be that the auburn pro units are the best, but cost more than the eatons.


I have a question though, if you do put a new posi unit in there, is there any way to hook it up to the electronics or whatever, so in the message center it shows when the unit locks up like the G80?

Eaton Posi gets my vote too. (Use only 80-90 non-synthetic mineral gear oil and add 4-6oz of friction modifier.)

eaton runs roughly 400 bucks. do not run synthetic with either one. i believe a few of the site sponsor's sell them.
