    need front IFS diff with 3.73

    I have been trying to find the RPO code for 3.73 and cant find one. that is my luck. I will probably just have to look in a different town for someone to rebuild the one i have to 3.73.

    need front IFS diff with 3.73

    1996 Tahoe I had my rear end gears swapped to 3.73 and absolutely love the new feel while driving it. i had 3.42 and with 260K miles it was a turtle. my question is how rare is it to have 3.73 from the factory in a front diff to fit my '96? I want to find a unit from a junk yard instead...

    change 3.42 to 3.73 gears question?

    if i swap from my stock 3.42 to 3.73 gears do i have to do anything else? programming etc ? i went ahead an ordered a set of yukon 3.73 for my rear. I am going to rebuild my rear completely so i just thought i might as well go down one size. don't reckon it will make that big of a difference...

    Test my 4WD?

    my switch would blink off and i had to buy a used switch off ebay to replace it. once replaced it didn't go off again. do you have a field somewhere you can spin in some? or a gravel road ? it doesn't have to be much just to make sure its working.

    Rear axle seal/rear end ??????

    did he removed brakes and check condition of the tube end? you should find RPO code in glove box that will tell you what gear you have i.e. GU6 is 3.42 and GT4 is 3.73 and GT5 is 4.10 if is has another number G80 it is a mechanical locker type also. i bet the tube is messed up from axle...

    need to know what years are compatible - gear swap

    i am pretty sure they didn't take tube off just slid axle out. i was thinking that washer would be the problem from a video i saw of rebuilding the diff i don't see how you could remove that axle without taking long tube off so that everything would go back right. they haven't swapped diffs...

    need to know what years are compatible - gear swap

    Had my dad looking for 95-98 front diffs and he just bought me one from a 98 but based on what I'm seeing listed on eBay the 98 is not supposed to be the same. He is on his way now with it. I'm really hoping it will work but if not I will have a 98 3.42 diff for sale. Lol. He couldn't find a...
