I am picking up my new truck tommorrow and before I do would like some help answering a question. On my last truck, 2001 d/a CC SB 4*4, I had the G80 locking diff and it was clearly listed as a extra at $300 and change on the invoice , the new one, 2002 exactly the same, it has the locking diff listed in the standard equipment area and doesn't show any extra cost. Am I get the same rear diff as my last truck had?
Any input would be greatly appreciated

The G80 is standard equipment on the Canadian 2002 trucks. I guess they figure we need it up here in the Great White North. :D

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE!

GM gives you Canadians free hats, shirts and now free G80 lockers? I love you all as much as the next guy, but I didn't get any freebies with my truck... well OK, I did get 0% financing, but a hat woulda been nice...

Don't worry, the cost of the hats, tee-shirts and the G80 locker is carefully inserted into the cost of the truck ;)

In Canada, the G80 is standard on LS and LT. On the base Silverado it is a $375 option.

IMHO,

Any vehicle capable of planting 300hp and 520 lbs/ft pf torque stock should be built with a locking differential without any one even asking whether or not it's needed.

I was surprised by the answers I got from salesman when I was browsing lots before ordering my 02 upon seeing several trucks in stock with the options that I wanted BUT, were ordered without the G80 option.

I've heard:

"Why would you want that?? It is a 4x4 you know that right??

"Only people that go 4 wheeling off road would buy that, you aren't gonna spend 40 grand and then drive thru the woods are you??

And the best one of all was:

"GM stopped putting them in trucks when they went to push button 4 wheel drive cause it only takes 2 seconds to push that little button right next to the steering wheel."

OK, glad you told me that!!! I really didn't know :eek:
