ThatTallCanadian Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 So yesterday I broke of my driver side rear axle shaft. Brake caliper is broken wheel mounting flange gone, all that jazz. What I'm wondering is I'd it's more feasible to just swap in a new rear axle assembly or try to just replace the shaft and whatnot. I'll be looking at the wreckers for parts, if they don't have an SS, would any 1500 rear end work?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think you should be able to pull and replace the axle shaft and replace whatever broke on the brake side of things. I think* any axle shaft from a 99-06 1500 would work with the same rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianVRss Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 A rear axel assembly with a G80 with 4:10's could be an interesting hunt Gav. I'll ask a few of the junkyards around the country for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason* Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Any 10-bolt from the same era GM should work, I don't think our truck has anything different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most 1/2 tons didn't have 4.10 gears like our trucks from what I understand so there kinda hard to find.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right but won't the axle shaft be the same even with different gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90zxdriver Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Was there ever a truck from the factory that had a 14 bolt rear-end with 4.10's and disk brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
