Couldnt find much on here, usually gets shot down and told to build a nice 10 bolt
Won't be so much of a DIY as it will be the first I've done, closest swaps i've found have been on avalanches mostly. If everything works out I will clean up the thread and probably leave the stuff i've done wrong so you'll know not to make the same mistake.
My truck: 2012 yukon denali 6.2, AWD, 6l80E 10 bolt, 8.6, 3.42, G80
Axle out of: 2013 escalade 2wd options AXN (9.5 axle) GU6 (3.42 gear) G80 (gov lock) should be here monday, I am going to try and have everything I may need on hand for a quick swap next weekend, driveshaft willing.
I've compared all the brake parts they all match, All the link bars should match up, I have the spoon panhard if that needs to be adjusted. There is a conversion ujoint available that has the stock driveshaft side to 1350 joint on the 14 bolt yoke, *IF* the driveshaft doesnt need to be shortened drastically it will atleast allow me to keep it on the road while custom/balanced driveshaft is built. From what i've found the 14bolt yoke is about 1" more forward than the 10bolt. some have thrown in the conversion ujoint and no problems but I havent been able to verify it will work specifically for my swap with the AWD case.
