well it turns out ( news to me ) that i have a factory Eaton Locker in my Blazer , axle code G80 with 3.73 gearing . Although i have yet to fully use this under the appropriate conditions , to give a fair opinion . I can say that it is very nice to drive around daily in non-offroad conditions , just thought i would put that out there so if anyone was wondering .

I have the G80 in my Trooper as well, and while not a locker, it really does a good job of distributing the power properly to the rear wheels. And with some careful maniputation with the hand brake you can get almost 100% lock up from it. A great system if you ask me, and it does make driving around town a joy.

yeah , it is not a True selectable locker , but good enough for me too , now only if my front end was strong enough to handle a selectable locker
I believe the Izuzu and and some chevrolet models share some parts , not sure though . it would be interesting to see if i could convert to a manual hub too .

I know the hub conversion for the Trooper is pretty straight forward, but I do not know if the Blazer can be converted.
