A posi rear spins both wheel at the same time vs spinning only one on a typical rear end.

How do you know if you have a posi rear? Sounds like it would be a good thing to have.

Nope... Unless you have the G80 RPO code, you only have a pegleg. GU* codes show your ratio...

If you have G80, yes, it's posi, gu6=3:42 ratio.... If you want to decode ALL your RPO codes, go to http://www.s10forum.com/rpo/

They have a nifty little rpo decoder.

Re: Got my new rear today! YAY

I thought factory skids plates meant it had one wheel peel.

All the sites I'm seeing while searching say G80 is limited slip

Skid plates are standard on all of our trucks..Except the zr2 which have skid plates running all the way to the back.

Limited slip is POSI...
G80 AXLE POSITRACTION , LIMITED SLIP
