G80 Rear End

[MikeyB]

I have a '01 2500 HD with the G80 rearend. Can anyone tell me specifically what brand diff it is such as Dana, Curie, etc. I am looking for a skid plate for the rear diff but need to know specific branding so I can search for the correct one (if one exists).

Thanks for any replies,
Mike

Mike,

The G80 is an "Eaton Locker"

Thanks for the reply.

Haven't found a skid plate for the rear yet.

The rear end is an "AAM 11.5" (American Axle). Same as the late Dodges, but we get a drain plug.

G80 only designates the RPO for a GM vehicle with some type of rear axle traction assistance. The locker is an Eaton Gov-Loc, but it's internal. The outside of the axle is the same, with or without the "G80".
