I'm Awesome
Alrighty, if this has already been written up I apologize. I couldn’t find a thread with the info I was after anywhere else.
I want to put 3.73 gears and an Eaton true trac posi into my ‘94 C1500 RCLB.
I have read that a Suburban rear end will swap right over with the sway bar and better rear brakes. This would be good for me since this is a street truck and would help handling and braking all in one shot.
I have also read that the 10 bolt in my truck is weak and useless and should be thrown away immediately and replaced with a 9.5 inch (12 bolt IIRC) diff.
SO
Is it worth it to
1.find a junkyard 2wd ‘Burban with the gears I want and swap a posi into it and run it?
2.Look for a 4x4 ‘Burban with the better rear axle and desired gears to swap a posi and 5 lug shafts into? If that’s even possible.
This truck is not tow pig or abused, so I don’t see blowing up the 10 bolt anytime soon (if at all). I do plan on towing a camper in the future though, along with doing other miscellaneous truck things. The camper will be one that I know the truck can handle without overloading it. Idk if that makes a bigger axle worth it or not.
What do y’all think?
