Ebay for sale 14 bolt G80 46000miles

[danman6677]

hey guys just found a 14 bolt 9.5 G80 unit from a 1990 454 SS for $100, my question is are they good and is this a good deal?
The seller is from PA but I cant get send a question to him about shipping to Canada.

Price is good but I would think shipping would kill. Are the 454ss a 5 or 6 lug axle? Being 2wd the axle will be narrower if you plan on swapping it into a 4wd. You cannot find any local?

No the price is for just the internals unit not the whole diff, and there is a another one for 224.99 and his shipping to Canada is $50.
Ill maybe have to call around but alot of these wreckers here are quite pricey on stuff, example 8 ft bed for 88-98 gm - 1500

That's an average price for a used G80 spider assembly....although if I were to get one, I'd look into a rebuilt one with stronger replacement pins, the stock pins' shear strength wasn't as high as one would hope. If that were a used rebuild with the stronger pins, I'd say it was a good price for that mileage.

Thanks for the info I will check for a rebuilt unit.

Make sure it's one rebuilt with the stronger pins....there could still be factory reman kits with the stock style pins being used, it's kinda doubtful, but still a possibility.

Here is a fully rebuilt G80 with new bearings you can buy without a core.

I plan on sending in my current 9.5" G80 for a rebuild and was quoted about 225 + shipping. This way you don't have to mess, or worry about your ring and pinion position if you are reusing your current ring and pinion.

well i called recycler today and they have a posi carrier from a 2000 chevy, are they the same spline and ring gear as the 88-98s
