    2011 Suburban 2500 - Replacement Exhaust Manifold (Driver's Side)

    Good suggestion Joseph. I will use ARP bolts. (Your Yukon Denali is gorgeous!) Also. I posted on another forum. I got my answer. "12686303 won't fit. Its for box delete pickup trucks ONLY. Option code ZW9. ZW9 trucks have a different exhaust Y pipe setup and the driver's manifold is...

    Sorry. It's a 2500. That was a typo. Will edit and fix that.

    2011 Suburban 2500 - Replacement Exhaust Manifold (Driver's Side)

    Hello All, I plan to replace my driver's side exhaust manifold. The bolt closest to the firewall is missing. Cylindre number 7. I plan to replace it with a new GM Genuine manifold. New steel bolts (not stainless). And new gaskets (GM Genuine). What is the difference between these two...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    Long-story short. I closed my bill with the local shop that just wanted to replace parts. They didn't want my Suburban in their shop till Christmas, taking up room, and waiting for it to be rebuilt. I had my Suburban towed to my house. I supported the frame very safely with 4 strong support...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    Thanks for all of the help guys. I'll give you my update as to where I'm at... Two weeks ago; I decided to just bite-the-bullet and go for the $5,500CDN + install option. This was a new (remanufactured) axle procured through a GM dealership. The rebuilder was going to be some...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    As far as we figure; the housing is fine. Needs a full overhaul kit. New bearings, seals, ring, pinion, axle shafts, carrier + G80, and cover. All the guts are pooched. The problem I am having is that I am not finding too many options to locally rebuild it. Just the $5,500 CAD for the...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    Thanks Kurt. We did look through these three. 1. The one in Weyburn with ~157,000 miles; the wrecker couldn't confirm the mileage or condition. 2 & 3. The last two have north of 255,000 miles. If I was going to dump the vehicle; I would consider these axles. Since my Suburban has ~30,000...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    I think my problem is there is a lack of vendors in my city. I live in Saskatchewan. The only guy in town was the $5,400CDN quote. I am still piecing together how this happened to a ~30,000 mile axle. No leaks. Not low on fluid. Please look at the pictures above. One of my axle adjusters...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    Good point. From all my research; it appears that the Suburbans have a 67" rear track width vs. 66" for the 2500HDs. This might not be a hurdle.

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    I am going to do some measuring this weekend. I recently learned that 2007 to 2010 2500HDs came with 3.73 as an option; and have the same bolt pattern. So far; I am thinking the spring perch width is my biggest hurdle. As for the wheel speed sensors; I would think I should only have the ABS...

    2011 Suburban 2500 Rear Axle Swap

    Hello All. I've just received some bad news. My rear axle is destroyed on my 2011 Suburban 2500. I have a 2011 Suburban 2500 4X4 with the G80 locker and 3.73s. I am having a heck of a hard time finding a wrecked replacement unit. My current only option seems to be a rebuild for $5,400 CDN...
