Tires and pack the wheel bearings are must do projects. Most likely will need a new battery and don't forget to clean ALL the wire connections especially the ground.

Question GM locking rear diff.

I bought a used GMC 2500 and finally got around to checking all the RPO's and I found that the truck has a locking rear differential. Any towers out there have one and can give me your thoughts?
