04 Yukon rear end

You did what?!

I mean, sounds like you destroyed something. Pop the differential cover and SEE what you destroyed.

But likely the rear axle will require a major overhaul (read expensive!) A complete rear end from the junkyard swap matching the axle ratio would be probably more economical.

... So my original Yukon the 2004 GMC SLE 4x4 got a little bit of an issue that popped up with the rear end after I had revved it to 4500RpM in neutral messing with a Silverado in the same parking lot bouncing off the rev limiter and I dropped her on into drive ...

Needless to say the 35s did nothing and I mean absolutely nothing but hook and try to book it ... Now my passenger side rear tire operates as it should, my driver side however feels like it's about to fall off and does not rotate with the passenger side ... Not sure if I should do the whole rear end or should I take the casing off the rear end and check the gears maybe the axle popped out?
We're just curious if I should go ahead and get a whole new rear end or pop the driver side out and see what's going on with it maybe the pin in the rear end sheared?

Welp, the verdict is a twisted/sheered drive axle ! Conveniently the same price as a rear end basically... Which is ridiculous! I was just looking at what ratio I needed to go with so the higher number is better with gearing for a mud toy? She ain't much but for what I've got in it I love it.

I suspect these neutral drops is what took your transmission out too.
