I'm looking to get an Eaton posi unit for my 04 GMC,5.3,auto,RC/SB 1/2 ton,4x4. Can anyone tell me which housing I have, or better yet exactly which posi unit I would need? Thanks

you have the 10 bolt 8.5 inch.
i believe it is 30 spline.
you need:
- posi
- carrier bearrings
- shim kit (i reused stock shims)
- GM 10 bolt 8.5" gasket
- gear oil
- red threadlock

i'll let you make the choice.
but i have been told that the 85/140 works the best, especially since there is a carbon fiber clutch in the Eaton. nice thing about this posi is that it is rebuildable

overall, i would definitely choose the Eaton over the G80
