Does anybody know what rear end the 05 silverado 1/2 ton twd has? Dont know if it matters but its a 5.3, auto, ext. cab with a tow package.
And where is a good place to order gears from? I tried summit and they dont have anything for that year, and I really dont want to go to the dealer. Thanks.
8.6" rear end in the 1/2 ton trucks.
4wheelparts.com for gears. Drive train specialties(DTS), Randy's Ring and Pinion... just Google ring and pinion and you'll find a lot of great companies to buy gears from.
hey red! what kinda tranni is in my truck?
You picking up trannies these days? :laugh:
Should be a 4L60e, I believe.
no not yet!!!!!!! i was jus wantin to look into some stuff to build it up stonger one day. a long time from now. knock on wood
Keep tellin yourself that...it wont break...it wont break....it wont break! its a 4l60e...it will break! as many as 5 times lmao!
Actually I think its a 4L65E.
I had one more question. I guess my truck has a factory locker. I can hear it pop when I lose traction and it locks up so I know its there. Is there anyway to tighten those up? Sometimes it still spins one tire around a corners.
The diff is supposed to unlock around corners. That's their design. You'd increase your chances of losing control in wet conditions if it locked around corners.
if it breaks, you build it stronger. if it still breaks then you laugh.
