I pulled the cver off these acles and am looking for help on what the carrier is. I think it's an eaton. Also, I wrote down everything stamped on the gears, and if anyone can make sence out of it for me, I would greatly appriciate it. The rear axle is a 14BFF and the front is a Dana 60. The pictures are of the rear end. The front is open, cause I can see spiders...

Here's what's stamped:
Rear: 4 11 30 3 009
Front: 5 10 78 DANA 30360 A3 D84 41-10

"41-10" = 4.11 ratio.

The smooth cone on the right of the 14FF carie makes me think gov-loc. Count the number of pinions (the big holes right behind the ring gear) in the carrier. 3 holes = gov-loc, 4 holes = open
 
I'm going with 4.10 gears and some sort of clutch posi since you can see the clutch plates through the side of the carrier.
 
Gov-loks have clutches in them ;)

Say what? I don't remember the gov-bomb in my factory 10 bolt having any clutches. :crazy:

Besides, this carrier in question looks brand new and it's doubtful that anyone in their right mind would buy a new gov-lock. :dunno:
 
thay have a metal based cluch disk setup. no friction material like others.

and i am in my right mind and have a new one in stock. i love them in my dd or light off road trucks.

but i didnt pay full price for it tho. :eek1:
 
I had one in my old 97. Extended cab long box, Vortec 454, 4wd, put some junk 33s on it just to burn them off. When the rear "locked up" it was like a spool or locker, taking a corner you could feel the tires skidding around, truck was jumping little too. I think that's why GM called them Govlock, cause when they are locked, sorta is like a locker, never felt one slip.....
