My point on the Detroit Locker was, they're about undriveable. Start around a corner, there's a loud THUNK and the car jumps about a foot as it unlocks, straighten out and the same drill when it locks back up. But, if you're addicted to 'light it up and go' every time you come off a light, and/or neglecting to get out of the gas when you select another cog, they will survive substantially more of that sort of abuse than a clutched limited slip. Some of us were abusive of our rides when we were kids.

Johnny,
I could provide you with a long story about me helping JimK trying to source a locking differential but here's the Cliff Notes
version.
Won't fit.

Somebody will put a Detroit Locker in one of them one day. For about five miles and one turn.

Johnny,
Got it, thanks!
Considering the internal volume of the final drive JimK's limited slip diff is as good as its ever going to get!
Regards,
Rob M.

Thank you everyone for your input.
I think I am going to go with the out the bottom.
I have the ability and welders to build a engine hoist if someone could send me some specs that would make life easier.
I could measure it all out and such but if I could get the spec that would make life a little easier
Also I am now a little confused now on the final drive. Well it work or not?
Thanks
Cameron

Camron,
If you do not have a trolley hoist, drop the transmission down , then
the engine,
You do not have to dig ,,holes.
Need more details, call me as we are only Miles from you in Fremont,CA.

Contact Bob Burkitt. He can give you the info on the size of the pieces to build one. I think his is all bolted together (no welding). If you looked at Bob Stockholm's pictures referenced earlier that is Bob's hoist in the picture.

Camron,
Call me and i will let you use our engine lift with all the attachment
and even show you how to do it FREE.
If your on a hill , that is not a problem as we have helped people
with all type of situation.
If you do not want our free help, its your choice.
During the winter month we have few people using our facility to work
on their coach and pick our brain and never get charged.
I don't care if there is an engine expert there, they usually end up
calling me after they screw up things. There is nothing difficult
about the GMC, only that it is the way things are laid out and more
like a truck.
When you refer to the engine compression in term of vacuum, I know you
can use our free assistance.

All of the GMC suppliers offer fiberglass fan shrouds to replace the OEM
nighmare. If you buy one which is not split into upper and lower halves,
ask here how to do that for yourself -- it will make future maintenance
access MUCH easier.
