lets talk about rear ends
lets talk about rear ends
and not the curvy ones!!!
ok guys im looking for some advice. i've got my 3.9 putting out some decent power now and when I add 1.7 roller rockers it'll be putting out some decent low end. My factory 8.25 open diff with 3.55's is getting very annoying, mainly the open differential. I absolutely hate low traction situations like snow or rain because my one wheel spins way too easily and I need to get rid of it. I plan on having a performance shop doing it and installing 4.10 gears at the same time to compliment my mid-high RPM power. I have been looking for LSD's online and most of them say 8.25/8.375. are these two different rear ends but the diff's are interchangable?? it's very confusing. so basically what have you guys done? even a factory LSD would be fine, I just need to know where to get it. There are also a different number of splines for different years, mine is a 2001. Thanks for the advice.

RE: lets talk about rear ends
I would call Jegs or summit racing customer service. I have been suprised several times at how much just the phone CS guys know.
I have yukon 4.10's in mine, but took it to a shop and they did all the thinking.....I dont do gears......
If yours is a street truck, you might ask around and see what rpm you would be running at highway speeds. I am running about 2200rpm @ 65mph with 4.10 gears and 32" tires. I can watch the gas needle sink

i found that. i figured out that mine must be 29 spline. the auburn LSD is cheaper than powertrax. it says for like 2.71 gear ratio and up, if i plan on swapping to 4.10's will this affect anything?
thanks
