Hey dudes. I’ve got a 95 454, NV4500, 14bff 4:10 SRW truck. Here’s my issue. It’s a one legger. I find it asinine that any heavy duty light trucks such as mine come with one leggers, let alone a 4X4!!? But I want to fix that. Honestly I don’t have much justification or excuses for why I want to do this other than I do. Also, I like burnouts and sliding around but a one legger makes those both lame as hell.
So, I can’t really justify spending upwards of $1k or more on a truetrac even though it’s a great diff. I’d also like to get disc brakes and a stronger rear end out of this project if possible. My father in law has a lb7 Duramax with the 11.5AAM in it. I’ve taken some rough measurements and it seems pretty dang close to mine. I’ve read both that it’s bolt in and that it’s not. Either way I don’t really care, welding is no issue for me, it’s my profession. What I really want to know, is did all the 11.5AAMs come with posi? His certainly did, but it’s a 3:73 diesel truck. I’ve read that the 4:10 was only available on the 8.1 and as open diff. But then again I’ve read the opposite.
So what’s the best option? $1k for a true trac? Or like $250 (already priced it at that) and some work for an 11.5 AAM from my local junkyard? I don’t wanna do the swap if I’m not even gaining posi out of it. Thanks guys
