The_aSSet Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Don't think so cause they're not awd, but could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTYW Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) I know the Tahoe won't have the right gear ratio. There are a ton of write ups on it on here. Use your search and it will tell u about all you want to know. I am having mine rebuilt right now. Parts are readily available. Most of the time it is just the carrier bearings. That is all I have messed up. Still replacing all of the bearings and seals. Ring gear was fine. Remember if u try to use a Tahoe front diff, and I think it can be done, you will need a 4.10 ring gear,assuming you still have the stock gear ratio in it. Hope this helps. If you want a whole differential, I hear that jasper sells a good one, but the are pretty pricey.

zippy Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The Tahoe's did have a 4.10 gear option although it is rare to find them. I had ordered many myself when I was still ordering trucks. If you don't get one from a truck with full time 4wd you'll need to change out the output drive for the passenger side which has the disconnect in it for the part time 4wd's.
