Picked up a front diff for the Yukon, from a 2011 and supposedly has about 140K miles. Donor vehicle had what seemed to be an oil cooler leak so the aluminum was somewhat preserved from being covered in oil and looks decent after a cleaning.

My front diff needs a pinion bearing so I wanted to either rebuild a donor, or swap one while I rebuild mine. I bought this for a couple hundred and either way I can have a spare, or sell later after whichever diff gets rebuilt goes back into mine. Since it's my current daily driver I need to keep it on road.

Backlash at the yoke, the best I can measure with a film of oil still on the teeth is .011", everything feels very smooth, under no load of course.

Does GM use the multiply by .5 or .7 method for calculating backlash at the yoke?

Is this AWD or 4WD? Just curious because the actuator is missing. Did it transit like that? Does it not leak oil if the actuator is not in place?

Mine is AWD, this diff was from a Denali also.

The oil leak was definitely layered on the top so at the moment I'm ruling out a seal.

as long as it wasn't from a hybrid denali. those have 4wd not awd

 

[j91z28d1]

I need some help with an electrical issue. I only have one working electrical 12v outlet in my Denali: front right. The others appear dead. I looked at fuse box but could not find the fuse for these outlets. Which fuse is it?

Also my airshocks appear to not be working.

Thanks

here's what I see for the lighter and the compressor. the diagram for the lighter stuff is a bit of a cluster, it seems gm wired every option level differently.

Interesting.

No, this diff is as it was removed, no encoder motor, def not a hybrid.

Apples and oranges. The encoder motor goes on the transfer case, not the diff.

An AWD diff has no "actuator" to engage the front diff, since it's always engaged. A 4wd front diff has an actuator that engages the diff when commanded.

I think my description was misconstrued.

The diff I pictured is how it was taken from the donor Yukon Denali, so being AWD, it has no "actuator" but I used the term "encoder motor"....I do thank you for the clarification...

Divide by 2; It's perfect!

Thanks all for the responses for fuses!!!!

I just dumped 6 more quarts of transmission fluid and added 6 more. That’s 18 quarts through it now. Should be nice and clean. I‘m thankful for the new pan with the drain plug. So easy.

Hey Onlyone,

Couls you point me to the pan with the drain plug that you are referring to? I am only finding the older 4 speed pan when i do searches.

Thanks.

 

[Charlie207]

Bolted up the other skid plate I ordered, for the front differential.

You can see the other plate back there protecting the transfer case. Isn't it cute?

Here you go. Great seller and it’s a GM pan with a high quality crimp in plug.

Yes. Thats what i am looking for. I have found others, but the plug was in the rear section of the pan and would be right where the exhaust crosses over.

This one can easily be drained. Thank you.

I meant a skid plate to cover the ATF pan, but I do like that. I might buy it and throw it in the corner until the next time I swap out fluid and filter. But then there's the whole can of worms of being able to check/replace the filter, and you have to drop the pan anyway.

It takes me about 5 minutes to drain and put in 6 quarts. And it’s exactly 6 quarts on the dot. I don’t even check in now. I don’t even need to lift it up.
