The G80 is a locker not LS although they are finicky at best. Sometimes they lock sometimes they don't and they tend to blow up under high HP and/or donuts. So in short if you have the G80 (most Dmaxs do) you have a locker.

Unless something is very different in the states than here in canada the D80 is not a locker, it's limited slip. And to the best of my knowledge none of them come with lockers but what do I know, I'm a mopar man.

The G80 is a locker it applies even power to both rear wheels. Unlike the Dodge Torsen LS which is a "worm-gear" type LS and doesn't apply even power. As far as I know there is nothing else available for the 11.5 AAM other them one guy that is building mini spools for them. ABR has been saying they have a locker coming for the past 6 years or so.

Yeah Dodge doesn't have as good of a locking system.The Dodge never puts equal amounts of torque to the front wheels as the back.Wish I had about $4,000 right now so I could put it towards a nice Dmax in my area.Oh well one will turn up sooner or later.

I have already found one. I just can't afford the $4,000 downpayment.Otherwise that baby would be sitting in my driveway.Then I'd hook it to the trailer just to prove dad wrong.
