    Front Drive Axle Clutch Shaft part numbers

    It is a gas 5.7l engine. Has GU6 (3.42:1) gears. Interestingly I put in my VIN, and it came back with the 19121908 part number. When I typed in the 19121909 part number, it said it was not compatible with my vehicle. I still wonder what the difference between the two is. But at this point...

    Front Drive Axle Clutch Shaft part numbers

    I need to replace this part in my '96 K1500 Suburban. However when looking at the parts diagram, there are two part numbers listed. It is #16 on the following diagram: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/v-1996-chevrolet-suburban-k1500--ls--5-7l-v8-gas/front-drive-axle--front-axle The two part...

    Cracked front axle housing

    BTW, I am familiar, conceptually, of what you are talking about regarding the original thermal vs electrical actuator. About 20 years ago, I used to follow a (long gone) Suburban forum where the upgrade was discussed. My original thermal actuator seems to work ok. We tested it on the bench...

    Cracked front axle housing

    This is odd then. My original axle extension housing has two threaded holes - one for the actuator, the other for the sensor. I bought a replacement from a place (West Coast DIfferentials - seem like great folks) that is identical. Unfortunately when we got the truck up on the lift and...

    Cracked front axle housing

    Update: while we found an axle extension housing, when we got into it, there was more broken in the front diff than just the housing. So to make a longer story shorter, I now have a front diff/housing allegedly from a '97 Tahoe installed. The problem now is that the replacement has a different...

    Cracked front axle housing

    So welding it is an option? A mechanic friend thought that might be the case. Sounds like I should start looking for a junkyard one too. And yes - car-part.com is a great resource.

    Cracked front axle housing

    (I'd posted this in the transmissions sub-forum a week ago, but got no responses. Hopefully reposting here is ok...) We discovered the front axle housing in my '96 K1500 Suburban is cracked. Explains why my 4WD hasn't been been as reliably engaging and disengaging as it should be. It seems to...

    Cracked front axle housing

    We discovered my front axle housing is cracked. Explains why my 4WD hasn't been been as reliably engaging and disengaging as it should be. It seems to be GM part number 26033235, and not available new. It there a cross reference or other source of this part? Or should I just start scouring...

    1996 4L60E - how to get tranny temp from a ScanGage II?

    Has anyone figured out the xgage codes for a '96 to get transmission temp on their ScanGage II? The codes published at the ScanGage web site do not work, because apparently GM used a non-standard code for the first year or two of OBDII. The published codes do work great in our '02 Buick. I...

    Overhead Display from a Blazer

    Does the trip computer portion actually work? And if so, is the MPG function reasonably accurate? I currently use a Scanguage II, but it would be nice to have an alternative display.

    Striping tape (with deluxe two tone ZY4 option)

    Fellow GMT400ers, I have had a 1996 Suburban, with the deluxe two-tone paint option, for many years. Unfortunately the paint on the hood and roof have succombed to the infamous GM clear coat problems. I would like to get it repainted back to original spec, but one problem is the lack of...
