    Yes 4.10 gears, its out of turboberserkers truck over on PT, it has 14K miles on the whole thing. Id just put the whole thing in and be done with it so you know the diff is set up perfect. Im sure we can work something out its just a paperweight in my garage since Im getting rid of my Z71.

    Well it just got slowed further. I have been hearing this noise and feeling this vibration lately. Well I thought the vibration was the cheap used tires out of balance. Well today on the way to work the noise steady gets louder and louder. Well Still cant figure out what it is. I leave work to get my daughter from school and as I am thinking to myself something is really bad wrong I realize what the noise is. My 3 year old year end is going south. BAD BAD timing. My wife is in Orlando and I have no other form of transportation. I limp to the school and limp back to work where I have tons of tools and can lock my truck up inside the building safely. I had to rent a car. My mechanic will be back tomorrow to look at it.

    Broken 3.73 gear that slowed and sped up the swap.
    Awd front diff with 4.10 gears out of Silverado SS

    More pics will follow once the swap is done. The 3.73 gears breaking helped with making it easier to find a front diff that was compatible with the awd transfer case. The rear end now has a new set of 4.10s. The guy on my payroll that is a ASE certified tech has come to the conclusion that it is not a wise idea to run the front awd diff with the non awd transfer case/autotrac. Not worth the risk of breaking anything to ride for a few days like this. What it really means is we R&R the transfer cases tomorrow. The front diff is bolted in and ready. We will have to wrestle the transfer case swap without the aid of a lift that we had lined up to use. I will try to do a writeup in this in this thread and then copy it completed into its own How to thread. It may take me a few days and some proofreading from someone other than myself.

    Oh yeah

    GasGuzzler thanks for your help. I appreciate ya. I have something for ya in the next couple of weeks.

    The TC swap should take less than an hour with no lift. Get it done tomorrow (or tonight)

    Well I am not that fast and my help doesn't move very fast at all. I won't be able to do anything till after noon. I have 2 hours of "personal training" at the gym. Once I am done with that it would take me by myself 3 days to do it. I would have worked on it tonight with him but he promised his wife he would go look at a house she wants to buy. Once I get everything situated I will get your address and let you know how much shipping is. I have a good idea for shipping.

    Make sure you check the fluid level, I never checked it since I never put it in my truck.

    Done. I left it on jack stand till I got the new tires on. Fluid replaced in Front diff as well as transfer case. I don't know why yall think it is so dang easy to change transfer case. I disagree. My truck is RCSB. Maybe we don't have enough experience.
    Any way. No codes no CEL nothing. It hooks really well. Also the turbo lag it had has been cut in half. Hopefully I will whittle the lag down further with the 4" diesel exhaust.
    Now I need front brake pads. LOL
    I will try to do a complete write up on what all we did to make it work. IT was really pretty simple. I have only driven 4 or 5 miles so I might get a light not sure yet.
