CVALYNX Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 i need a new rear axle and I wanted to make sure I had the factory specs correct before i went searching for a new one. I have a 2005 SS 2WD it has a 14 bolt 9.5" with a 3.73 ratio and 33 spline 6 lug axles. If I am incorrect on any of this please let me know! If anyone has any advice on where to find one around Atlanta or opinions on instaling a different axle do tell! THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator 06 Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Does a 14 bolt silverado ss axel a semi floter or full floter? Is it disc brak or drum? What GM trucks came with this axel for 6 lug? Planning on getting a 14 bolt for my 2wd clone ISS.

EXGM Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's definitely not a full floater those only came on the HDs. I'm not sure if it's a semi float I think it's more a hybrid. In 2006 they went back to drums on the rear, actually in mid 05. I think the only trucks that came with the 14 bolt were the SS and trucks with the Vortec Max package.

I been doing a search all day I found they are semi float and they are 14 bolt 9.5" 33 spline 6 lug axle that came in 2wd ss and vortec max package. All I found is brum brake not disc not 100% sure. I found out 07+ vortec max have same axel with disc brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eberhama Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think they were also available as a part of the "tow package" separate from the SS and v-max, but I've never seen one so equipped. All your other research looks correct. If your buying on from a salvage yard, make sure to get a pic. Lots of places have them mis-inventoried, thinking tow hitch = tow package. Good news is, they never go bad, and fit very few trucks, so they are reasonably priced usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
