Very interesting. I've talked to about 10 different shops in my area and most don't do differential work like I'm considering (LSD install and regearing). One shop that is an actual differential shop gave me a standard rate of $2400 for any combo of diff and gear set. I thought that was a little...
Just curious if anybody's ever gone the route of replacing an entire rear end with the gearing they're after, like from a wrecked truck? It's just another way to go and I was considering how much trouble it might be. Seems like it could possibly be a bit cheaper if nothing else. Obvious issue is...
Nice. Yeah, that's my kinda off roading, minus the big rocks. Were you using OnX or a Garmin when you had to check ahead and decided to go a different route?
We definitely have some beautiful areas here in Texas, and some great National Forests, but I don't think we have trees quite like that. East TX gets thicker and greener as you go further East, but that area in the vid just 'looks' like typical Northwest forest when you see it. The height and...
Man I haven't seen forest like that in a long time, if ever. Not sure we have anything like that in the dirty south. That is a beautiful area. I thought you were gonna grab a long stick and start checking depth at (5:35). Were you running Mud Terrains or just some good AT's like in your truck pic?
Kinda splitting hairs, I know, but technically I believe the stock for that vehicle is 265/70/17 (31.6"), but it did come from the factory as an option with 275/55/20's (31.9"). I'm running some of those in an all terrain that has enough meat on it that it's fairly close to rubbing. I believe...
Yes, that looks about right.
The Sequoia story in that article hits close to home. I've off-roaded for so many years in 2wd in my 07 Tahoe, and in a Z71 years prior I always went off-road in 2wd - rarely needing 4wd. (I like to 'get' places and explore more than seek out mud or rocks).
Little...
Hey are any of you guys fans of any good podcasts that discuss these matters? I'd like to find a good source of info on these things discussed in a podcast/Youtube format that I could just listen to and soak-in.
Yeah I'm at the limit for tire height without trimming wheel wells and/or a lift. Not enough need for a lift really. For now the gears are the only real interest.
Ouch.
I don't know all the figures for your diff and axles, etc., but this looks like it might be the model you'd need.
14 bolt?

Hey you didn't regear when you got your TrueTrac, did you? If so, gimme the price of the parts and labor when you get your invoice. Just for a reference. I know everybody charges differently.
You're doing that on purpose, right? :)
Now I've gotta look into another possible option. And, to be honest, I don't do much highway at all these days so I could logically make a case for 4.10/4.30.
There's a possibility I could be towing on highways more in future though, but .... what if I'm...
Can anybody post a link that will confirm exactly which model of TrueTrac will fit my 07 Tahoe LT 2wd 5.3 gas? I thought I had found the 912A556 to be the correct model, but I've had two Fitment Check apps tell me that's not the right model. Looks like the 913A481 is also coming up as the model...
So, ... while we're on the topic and all, ... I guess I'll just ask the 'natural-evolution-of-the-discussion' question.
What are the pros and cons of 3.73 vs 4.10? Why shouldn't I just regear to 4.10? Does 4.10 get into less benefits on the highway? Would that be the main drawback for my...
Can't find the option to contact the current Mod(s). They moved this thread, which is fine, but the notification ends with ... "leaving link for 7 days".
What does that mean?
