Both 2wd? Same transmissions and rear axles? It could be that Suburbans were getting both Dana (yours) and AAM (probably who made hers) driveshafts for the Suburbans.... especially if Silao kept making vehicles during the 98 GM strike.
I forgot about the 98 gm strike. So in that case wouldn't mine have been built in 97 and hers 98?
