Cramer Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yeah unless you want to run a 8 lug dually setup. The stock g80 rear is barely strong enough to handle my S10 that has one. The reason why they put it in these is because of the awd splitting the power. If someone is taking the awd stuff off I would assume that they are planning on doing a backhalf and race it.

The quote I was replying to said that an upgrade to a 14 bolt which is a 8 lug diff. I was talking about a 12 bolt that the 2wd SS trucks came with. Hence the reason why they put the bigger stronger diff in them. Sent from my Motorola RAZR MAXX using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrroberson7805 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think if it ever hooked up, the rear end would fail very quick (if it hooks). I would definitely look at some rear end upgrades. are you going to be doing rolling starts or digs? neither, I dont race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol In a side not good luck on the build and let us know how it works out for you. will do. I have a mechanic buddy at the chevy dealer and he is the one who is actually going to do the work and he seid I need to get a tailshaft off a 2wd trans so I dont think he will have to open the trans and hope not also because it was rebuilt last year and is under warranty. One shady mechanic at the tire store told me that doing the awd to 2wd would require new spindle because without the cv axle the front wheels will fall off.The nut in front of the hub is screwed to the cv joint right? Im thinking leaving that nut and first chunk(whatever the big ass screw is about) and keeping the hub on with the original nut and screw right through the middle. I know im not mechanically inclined guys so please bare with me. I am trying to learn here so help a fellow SS'er out :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson1972 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 The 2WD SS never came with a 12 bolt it's a 14 bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 yeup unless hes referring to the 454SS which came with 12 bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 The trans will still have to be opened to get to the snap ring that holds the out put shaft in place... You will also need a 2wd output shaft, which us longer than the awd one. It will be easier to just repair your front diff at this point.

The gm 8.6 has a 10 bolt cover with a 10 bolt carrier the 9.5" rear has a 14 bolt cover with a 12 bolt carrier. hence all the cp.fusionSent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 That was my bad for not clarifying my earlier post. I didn't think most people went by the number of bolts for the cover.

Sent from my Motorola RAZR MAXX using Tapatalk 2 That's how it is on the other forum I am on. I must admit I didn't know the ring mounted to the carrier with 12 bolts on the 9.5".

Tyson1972 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well you learn something new everyday. I didn't know that about the 14bolt 9.5 rearend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrroberson7805 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Truck now sits in the driveway until this is done. Front diff makes a loud poppin noise if I give it any throttle at all. Please help me get this awd crap off my truck so I can drive it again. This is my transportation to work so if anyone knows a quick fix to remove awd would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
