I have a 96 k2500 with 350ci, 4l80e and SF 14bolt rear axle. 276,000 miles on vehicle. May be looking at an axle from a lower mileage 3/4 ton.
I know the main differences between an SF, and FF. What I am not aware of is will a FF net worse mileage due to more unsprung weight? I have read they offer lowerr rolling resistance, but i feel that gain may be offset by more weight.
I no longer tow with the vehicle, it' just my daily driver.
Thoughts?
For the ecomonics factor, I can get either axle for the same price.
