    What have you towed lately

    I can confirm that is does fit on a k2500 burb. There are two bolts towards the rear of the tranny where it rests on the rubber mount that are a little tight but still doable.

    That’s exactly what they said. Also they mentioned the backlash is double what the spec is.

    Howdy folks.. short update on my situation. I took the truck to a local shop since I don’t have the time or proper tools to tackle this. What they found was the pinion support bearing failed but the bigger issue is that the race has been spinning and caused damage. The new bearing which should...

    Yep, makes sense. Will likely keep it at 3.73 don’t need to throw anymore money at this truck.

    Thank you sir! Still not sure what to do yet. The local shop that said $1200 is now not interested after showing the scrap metal found on magnet. I respect the fact that it’s out of his “wheel house” vs winging it. Checking with a few other shops.

    Local shop says $1200 for new bearings and seals. If that’s all it’s needs.

    I think bearing cage failure. Would be great if other guy with same issue could chime in.

    Not sure on that. Will look at RPO codes later. Just know it’s a 14bolt, if that helps designate.

    I have 96 k2500 burb. 7.4-4l80e-3.73-G80 I appreciate the offer. I’m wondering if it just bearing failure I can replace that vs complete rebuild. I don’t have the time or tools to do this so going to call a shop today for estimates.

    I messaged the guy in the other thread. Looks like he hasn’t been active lately, hoping he can share what e ended up doing. If anything.

    What is this supposed to test? Durability?

    Option 1 is enticing if I didn’t buy the truck to haul a 6000lb travel trailer with the wife and kids. If it were just around town, I’d role the dice.
