Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / September 2004Help.....Question on My rear end 1994 Yukon 1500
Help I just installed a 3 inch exhaust and was having fun with my truck. I have the 3.73 rear end gears..I wanted to see if I had the posi rear end so I powerbraked it for a few and think I blew the rear end. Now if I go five feet I hear a nasty clunk....theres no way I can drive it and when I was powerbraking I noticed only one wheel spinning so I guess I dont have posi ( would I want it for any reason ?).....Im wondering if this could be the axle or is it definitly gonna be the rear end gears......Im going right now to get a tow truck and take it apart......Is there anything I should be looking for.... Also being that this is a 1994 and I might need to swap this rear end......Im wondering if I could get a rear out of a later model truck that has Disc brakes and replace the drum brake system rear end that I have now...At this point Im up sh.ts creek but I love my truck and Im gonan have to fix it.........Any help will be greatly appreciated....Please mail me or post here I really need the help Mike Long Island I have a 1985 10-bolt rear axle with drums, 3.73 gears 150K I'd torch out for cheep. I'd want to say it would go in your rig. I'm in southern NH. I'd guess it could be the diffy, I'd look into the U-joints though. I bet there OEM and you toasted them. BUT - the 10 bolt in your truck isn't the best axle to abuse. 'Round here we call 'em "brake stands".

You could have just checked the glove box production sticker for the RPO code G80 which would have told you if you had the posi or not. Much cheaper than a rear end.

(Then, I would agree that it was a "dumb" thing to do) GMC Gremlin Ifn it aint broke try harder. Ifn it's broke fik it better 'n try again. If you trashed the rear end, you might as well replace it with a posi and 4:10 gears. it will give you more of the torque you are looking for and only bump your rpm's up a little. > Help > I just installed a 3 inch exhaust and was having fun with my [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Long Island Shouldn't power brake, that burns the clutches in the transmission, don't be surprised when you get your axle fixed if you feel a slights shutter through the entire transmission when you accelerate, you have no idea how hot them clutches get when you power brake. > Help > I just installed a 3 inch exhaust and was having fun with my [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Long Island |
