The lack of a locking rear end doesn't surprise me. When I was truck shopping you would be amazed at the number of 4wd trucks at all price points simply were not ordered with them.

When I ordered my truck I made the sales guy check three times that they included the limited slip. I told them it was a deal breaker if the truck showed up on their lot without it.

I'd still buy it, but you have to get a discount, the open rear end sucks in any kind of slick stuff. You can put an air locker in it for a bit over a grand.

Its a shame because the G80 is actually a very good rear end, and GM only charges $300 for it from the factory...
