eddieo818 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 So my buddy has a couple SS rear ends laying around and i have been thinking of putting one on my truck because when it rains down here i usally have no traction i just start slipping all over the place! So how hard would the swap be?? what be needed for the swap??? also what are the pros and cons?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 well the diff swap isnt going to help the slipping in the rain because you dont have traction control. but the RWD SS has a much larger rear end 9.5" 14 bolt and is MUCH stronger than your current diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12'SROCK Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 is it just a simple swapor would i need alot of parts to get it done? im not 100% sure but you could just bolt it right up with the correct u clamps/bolts and depending on what gears you have now you might need to change your tune if they are not 3.73's cuz thats what the RWD SS came with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 i thought they came with 4.10's 3.73's unless they've been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 i thought they came with 4.10's nope no 4.10 came factor in the RWD SS only the AWD. BTW more gear dont help in the rain either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradude123 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Well, besides having to get a custom driveshaft, spring and shock mountings, etc (if it doesnt fit, i dont know if it does or not)... The diffs from these sss's are friggin tough as crud. Plus, they have a limited slip from the factory. that means two wheel burnouts suckas. Really really tough mostly but the LSD helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
