Hi guys, just bought my dream truck, 97 burban as a result of the VW TDI Scandal. I am new here and apologize if I have misplaced this thread.
My diff is on the way out, shuddering around turns when right wheel is on the outside diameter, clunks from stop, I checked, no slop in the ujoints. Where would you purchase a reman axel from?
My brick and mortar options are advanced with a Spartan ATK unit, Autozone or Napa (I don't even know if they offer reman's) or online or purchase a salvage unit and try to rebuild it on my own. (Confidence in my ability is about 85% that I can do it correctly)
Does anyone have any wisdom to offer on where to go?
Conventional thinking says stay away from advance and autozone units as the warranties are useless when dealing with those companies.
So, please chime in on a reputable company to order a reman GU6, or if I wanted to upgrade to a limited slip diff what my options would be in a 97 1500 Suburban 4wd? This suburban will mainly be used for towing, family hauling, and beach driving.
