Hi I'm newer to the forums and I was wondering if it's possible to convert a open diff (non-G80) to a LSD or G80 and if so what's the cheapest and easiest way. My truck is a '97 K1500 with the 14-bolt 3.73 rear end if that makes a difference.

Possible yes, worth while? NoHi I'm newer to the forums and I was wondering if it's possible to convert a open diff (non-G80) to a LSD or G80 and if so what's the cheapest and easiest way. My truck is a '97 K1500 with the 14-bolt 3.73 rear end if that makes a difference.
No they dontIf I'm not mistaken, 4x4 trucks should come with a G80/LSD from the factory. Check your glove box RPO sticker for the code "G80" to see if you already have one.

14 bolt was available in 1500's regardless of engine, GM stopped putting 2500 on the 14-bolt SF trucks around 1995.
G80 was Available in 4x4's and Z71's but wasnt standard for either, was a separate option.

Do remember though that there are "real" (8 lug) 2500's that also got 14 bolt SF's, this also tended to be older models, but they were real 2500's all the way...just had the SF rear instead of FF.
