2011 Tahoe/Real axle bearings Timken versus stock

[rdezs]

They asked to hold on to it till Tuesday afternoon, because of the holiday. (At GM's corporate offices) Sent wife home in a loaner....at their expense. (They sold us the vehicle about 7 years ago) I called and asked what the hell, they said they think they have a VIN and titling issue, but they're not sure yet. Not exactly sure what that means yet

 

[rdezs]

"Just because a new model has begun production, doesn't mean the old one cannot continue for a time on another line to use up their parts"

That was actually mentioned. They want to verify the VIN derivatives. Something about the actual components that were used.

I just ran your VIN through my secondary source and it says your truck was assembled on 11-22-2013. This makes more sense with your VIN. Usually when I see trucks made towards the end of the model year they have sequence numbers that usually start in the 300000s or 400000s.

I think you are just mistaken in saying you put a 2.992 inch wheel bearing in the Cadillac. I've got four 9.5" axles here for GMT900s and they all take the same wheel bearing as the 8.6" axle. AAMs website confirms this, GMPartsGiant also confirms this, even when I include your VIN.

Keep us posted, stranger things have happened!
