    What do I need to know before removing a complete rear axle?

    I'll have to have it smogged in Georgia.

    Correct, as always it seems. The ABS and Stabilitrac lights are on. Since these are safety features instead of emissions features, will this cause it to fail a Smog Check?

    I don't know yet. I figure I'll know when the lights come on.

    What do I need to know before removing a complete rear axle?

    New update, for the sake of anyone else that might have these same issues. My truck is at the mechanics shop. The 2003 Yukon XL 1500's complete rear axle assembly will fit a 2007 Yukon XL 1500. The gearing and traction control were both the same, so I'm expecting no issues there. HOWEVER!!! The...

    It looked like all the mounts were the same, so I went ahead and pulled it. Out was fairly easy and straight forward. I'll hire someone in SoCal to put it on as I have a cross country trip coming up in a couple of months, and don't want potential issues to crop up while I have my family on a trip.

    I found an 03 Yukon XL, with the same gearing and traction control...will it fit my 07 Yukon XL?

    It was mentioned in my other thread that any 2000-2014 suburban/yukon rear axle assembly can be used as a replacement. Can the rear axle assembly from the same years silverado/sierra/tahoe also work?

    Leaving the wheels on is a good idea I never thought of. I didn't think to cut the lines either, i was going to unbolt them all.

    First I would like to thank everyone that helped me figure out my rear end was toast. I am now ready to go pull a used rear axle assembly from a junk yard, but didn't see a How To write up or some such thread on this site. I will have to drive a couple of hours away, to the nearest Pick A Part...

    Not yet. It has to wait until the first of the month. Sourcing the used rear at a junkyard shouldn't be very hard, but I'll probably hire someone with more experience to help me switch them out. I wouldn't want something I didn't do correctly to cause an accident while I'm hauling my 6 kids down...

    I'm here in Southern California, and according the Pick-A-Part salvage yard website, they seem to have multiple vehicles from the early 2000's and up, that should fit my 2007. Is there anything I'm looking for (or should stay away from) when checking them out?

    Yup, you were right. It was a good learning experience though. I got my 2 young boys under the truck with me, getting their hands dirty turning a wrench.

    Sooo...prob just easier to go ahead and replace the whole rear with a junkyard special? I'm a capable, but def not a knowledgeable, mechanic. I can follow directions well. lol.

    So, I disconnected the drive shaft from the rear differential. The U-Joint seemed fine. No noises and it spun freely. The yoke where it connected to the differential could move about a 1/4 inch in any direction. The vibrating/rubbing noise I hear could come from here. Also, the area directly...
