    FWIW, I recently confirmed with two of my sons that the 10 bolt currently driving the truck was, indeed, howling when I last parked it, so I'm definitely planning to upgrade to a 14 bolt. Let the games begin...

    I had the 10-bolt rebuilt once, about 5 or 6 years before I parked it, as it had developed quite a howl. I may be mistaken, but I believe it was making noise again when I parked it, although it might have been the tranny that was making noise. Not sure, it's been 10 years since I parked it. I...

    If I've done my homework right, it seems that a Z71 that came from the factory with the towing package includes the 14bsf - I sure hope that's the case, but correct me if I'm wrong!

    Looking around, it appears that a 14sf from a Z71 is a direct swap, and I would be able to keep my 6-lug wheels. Does this sound like a good swap or is there something I'm missing?

    Thanks all for your input/encouragement! I'm considering upgrading the tranny to a NV4500, as the stock Getrag has a reputation for being weak, although I haven't personally had any problems with mine. Also looking at swapping in a beefier rear axle in place of the stock 10 bolt. Would...

    Thanks, I've had a number of offers from guys off the street - it's parked on my driveway in plain view - which makes me think I may have something cool, but I really don't want to get into a money pit. I've had it off-highway (no real serious 4-wheeling) from Washington state as far south as...

    I've been a member for a while, just lurking and learning, but now I'm looking for input on a potential project. I'm the original owner of a standard cab, short bed 1991 K1500 5-speed standard shift, and wondering whether or not it's worth undertaking a rebuild project. The truck has been...

    NV4500 in a 1 ton 1990 Chevrolet GMT 400 4x4 350 srw?

    My '91 K1500 has a MG5 (Getrag) tranny that is worn out, and that I would like to replace with a NV4500. I just need to determine what year would be a bolt-in replacement.
