GM truck rear end help...

[Rattler]

I currently own a 1995 suburban with a 6" lift and 35's. The truck had 125k all stock miles on it when I bought it. I lifted it, installed 4.56's and 35s and the rear end lasted 35k miles and then grenaded. I replaced the entire differential with a 14 bolt so I never have to worry about it again. The G80 units aren't a bad unit for a stock vehicle driven normally, but as soon as you put big tires on them they don't last and when they do blow they aren't worth putting any money into them since you can replace it with a 3/4 or 1 ton axle cheaper then rebuilding it.


oops forgot the other questions. lol


Is it true that all front differentials in GM trucks are open? Yes all GM IFS front ends are open
Have you had a good experience or bad? I did blow up a G80, but I'm running large tires on a heavy suburban
Can you tell me what I should do here? Don't let the G80 scare you away from the truck. They are awesome trucks and have outsold all others because they are well built.
Will I be ok buying a G80 equipped vehicle, or just plain STUPID? Any chevy truck purchase is a good purchase
