Okay I just shot a text to my friend who is a Chevy nerd and he says you could get a 1500 as a f44 and a 2500 as the same thing and they are identical.
--Edit, he says the only difference between the two is the rear springs. So a 1500 f44 had lighter duty springs than a 2500 f44. This...
I literally just looked at a GMC 2500 two days ago that had a 6 lug front axle. We pulled a bench set out of it for my brothers truck. That's why I was originally thinking they had light duty axles.
Being thirsty for knowledge and realizing my original suggestions were inaccurate I did a little research and I found that the 88+ light duty 3/4 tons had the 14 bolt semi floater as mentioned above but had the same IFS differential as the 1/2 ton. I was unable to figure out which trans they had.
I was pointing it out because I see it a lot in craigslist where people have them listed as 3/4 ton axles. But I was under the impression they were still 10 bolt. I was wrong though. Learn something everyday.
My most surprising setup and my favorite was a kicker comp VR. They are know wattage sub's and not pricey either. The low wattage amp given you lots of smaller options for power supplies.
Also my experience is being in the same space as the sub lowers the amount of power you need.
Glad you are okay, that is really scary.
The exact same thing happened to me but it wasn't snowing and I recovered control of the vehicle. My 4 year old niece was in the back seat and some hotrod in a gradorix was flying in the oncoming lane. All I seen was his headlights curve into my lane...
Well all 3/4 axles are 8 lugs but Chevy did make some 3/4 ton 6 lug axles. It was like a light duty 3/4 ton or something....it wasn't a great idea. Anyhow...don't mistakingly buy them because they really are not any better that what you have. You are looking for 8 lug 3/4 ton axles.
I was...
While this sounds like a synchro problem it could very well be old fluid and or a dragging clutch exaggerating a slight synchro problem.
I would look into fresh fluid if you haven't done it in the recommended service interval or didn't use a quality recommended fluid. I know GMs call for a...
With as many people do shackle flips there is probably hundreds just sitting in the corners of peoples garages. Or you could always pop on off at the junk yard. I'm no help if yoir looking for a new replacement though.
I had an x pipe on my 88 k10 and I just bought a eBay xpipe in the size I needed and ran both pipes down the stock passenger side locations and added the x pipe there.
16 and 17 mm are both in between 5/8ths and 11/16. Also 21/32 is in between there. So one of those wrenches I just mentioned will definitely fit. Some times old work hardware can be worked out with a little smaller wrench.
