Default 96 s-10 blazer

Same POS.
It is the Eaton Gov-Lok unit. GM and Ford both sell it in vehicles. GM
has 3 axle options IIRC, open diff, limited slip (GovLok) and on the
real hard core machines they do offer a Detroit locker as a special
order item.
The G80 came in the 10 bolts and the 12s.
GM used it as the primary upgrade in towing packages for the truck lines
and in most of the F bodies as well. I think Ford uses it in the lighter
trucks and the Mustang as well.
