Detroit Locker on Chevy Express

[Guoseph]

Hi All,

I have a 2006 Chevy Express 1500 AWD without G80 and I've been wanting to install a Detroit Locker in the back for a while. Does anyone here know if this is the right item?

If this is the correct item, do I need to order anything else to complete the swap?

Thanks much,

Alex

That is the correct one, you will probably want to also get a carrier installation kit (carrier bearings and shims).
Are you familiar with Detroit Lockers and how they drive? They are a great product but a little more aggressive than what I would get for my AWD Express, especially if you drive snowy roads often. I don't know how you use your van it may be a perfect fit for you.
