Another thing, which I didnt see mentioned, you dont know what shape that Donor Transmission is in, since the tranny, and transfer case, has to be swapped.

Oh. Well what kind of parts are we talking about here? Maybe they're worth the driveDarn! I'm in Dallas. I was asking because I have some spare parts.
A hand full of transfer cases, a couple of chassis (one roller), a Yukon XL 2500 (70% complete), and a Suburban 2500 (60% complete, but parts only). I have a bunch of door panels, some random doors, a couple hoods (including a cateye HD hood), and some other, random parts.

Oh yeah? I may have to make a trip up there at some point. This whole Suburban idea has been scrapped btw. I ended up getting a 2005 Z71 Tahoe minus the powertrain. So I'm gonna transplant the powertrain from my '02 rwd LT into it. That will be happening very soon!
What are you swapping?

My rwd powertrain from my '02 into the '05 Z71
Is it the same gear ratio as the Z71?

That, I am unsure of. My mechanic brother will probably know. He's quarterbacking everything but the electrical part. Obviously that's me

He told me he has no idea if they are unless he opens em up and counts the teeth. He did say if we are to use the Z71 rear end then I'll need a driveshaft adapter. Idk

Actually you can. Put the vehicle up on stands, spin the wheels, and watch the driveshaft. Count the revolutions for the driveshaft. If both front and rear spin the same amount, you are golden. If not, one of them is going to need to be regeared.
