    '96 cheyenne 14bolt,9.5", SF, 8 lug, parts problems?

    after putting new c-cips in and old cross pin, it eliminated the in/out play of axle on one side and lessened the play on the other...im going to have to do a re-evaluation...i dont think the vibration is coming from differential. I may have to do the "under the truck camera" to find it. Im...

    my bad...i didnt see the length measurements on the site, thanks for pointing that out. I think you are correct. My pin is 142.25mm. 144.78 is much closer than 148

    '96 cheyenne 14bolt,9.5", SF, 8 lug, parts problems?

    what a journey...as some of you know my situation, Im going to a new thread concerning how to find the correct parts. I had issues with this truck as described in the threads, "is ACDelco 10-4051 gear oil discontinued", and "Thump thump G80 and confusing gear oil"....so I decided to replace the...

    is ACDelco 10-4051 gear oil discontinued?

    if you are driving the truck, Id at least pull the fill plug and see if there is enough oil in it...mine only had less than a quart

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    I just found some info about adding weights to drums, is that a sign of a mistake? The side im having problems with is where this drum with the weight was, not saying that it contributes to the problem. If it were you would you replace drums? Im also thinking the wheel bearing play could be a...

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    something im now wondering about before I have drums turned is this piece of metal welded to the outside of the drum, im guessing to balance? I really havent given it much thought until now. Also, I noticed that I have a bit of side to side/ up and down play in wheel bearings

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    The drivers side is not engaging, feels that is where the binding is...if I get in wet grass and give it the throttle, the right side wheel spins, never the left. I dont understand about the clutches or how they work. Could clutches bind on just one side?

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    since the mechanics i know are 2 wks or so booked up, I decided to give it another look. I dont see anything wrong, everything looks good. I dont suppose that a person can start the truck, put it in drive, and see whats going on with the diff cover, wheels, and drums off. I can spin it around...

    Thump thump, G80 and confusing gear oil

    thank you for that info, im new at differentials apparently. Ive got it on the stands now and when turning the axles i can tell theres something not right inside there. Im getting ready to pull the cover again but this time im going to look much harder. I was ignorant the first time by thinking...
