Stay far far away. No lie I've seen about 12 or so of these and every one of them was broken. I have a broken one in the 14 bolt in my '92 dually. GM put them in several different rears.

Usually what breaks is the small gear that locks the clutch, the gear strips. It will then operate like an open differential. It can be run like this for years, it just will never lock.

People have always said, it looks like a watch inside with all the little gears. We always recomend to stay as far away as possible, cover may leak after explosion.
