busted rearend mod!!

[screamin86]

well decided to clean up the yukon today wash wax did the roof rack removal mod too which i really like! anyway i went to take some pictures and after i was done i got in and put it in drive and all i heard was "clunk bang skreatch rattle rattle" speedo nailed 120 then the yukon just slowly started drifting. first thought was the trans went....put it in reverse it would sqeal and catrry on but it would go did that for a few feet stoped and put her back in drive and went on my way maybe 1/4mile and boom peged speedo again and just coasted off the road. i was like 1/2 mile from the house to i just put it in 4hi and went on my way. im gona pull the cover tomarrow and see what all came apart. gona call the shop monday and see how much its gona be if i cant find someone to do it for a good price ill do it or find a used rear foe now....anyway here are the pics :p

That sucks man. G80s dont like burnouts and you do alot of them it seems....lol

[screamin86]

haha lol well really the only ones i have done was for my sig pic and the ones the other weekend when i made the video...i dont wanna have to replace tires on this thing often lol so normaly i dont do many or try.

[WARLOCK]

You gonna do a tru trac and 4:10s while your in there?

[screamin86]

id really like to but that would involve swaping front gears also and so far everyone around here wants a arm and a leg to do diff work on this thing. like 900 in labor

[WARLOCK]

Come to kansas. I got priced 125 to do my rear so I bet for 300 you could have both done....lol

looks clean,,sux to hear bout the problemo

[GasGuzzler]

$900 in labor for just the rear? Should be able to get both ends regeared for $900 at a dealer. I would overhaul an entire rear axle (gear and carrier swap, axle bearings and seals, etc.) for less than $300.

Since the speedo pegged 120, it makes me think something has gone wrong with the output of the tranny. Your VSS is back there and that (along with the cluster) is what tells you what speed you are going.

Depending on what happened back there, you might be able to get away with just replacing the carrier. Let us know what you find. Post pics as well.

Wel with it being 4x4 wouldnt the speed sensor be in the transfer case? I know its a diff style truck but in my 86 k10 the speedo cable plugs into the transfer case. Ive HAD to drive it some since the car had a flat and you can hear everthing turning in the rear like ring to pinion gear and like its just spining the carrier so like you said maybe just maybe the unit is bad only but my luck is never that good!
