What's going on gentlemen so I've decided to go ahead and replace the whole entire rear end but I'm nervous by what everybody's been telling me I have a 03 Tahoe Z71 I'm getting a rear end out of a 06 Escalade the gear ratio in the stock 06 Escalade should be compatible for the front gear ratio of my four wheel drive on my Z71 correct

Not trying to bust your nuts but, I’m a little confused as to if you are asking a question or just sharing information. Can you please break you post into a couple sentences with some punctuation?

You need the rpo code from the Escalade to verify with your Tahoes rpo code so you can see if the gear ratio is the same
Is the escalade rear a 14 bolt or is it still a 10 bolt?
As long as you verify the gears are the same then you should be good to go. You can also pull the diff cover and count the gears if you need too

Yes, welcome to the forum.

You do need to verify, with matching RPO codes, that the gear ratio is the same.

Also, like @wjburken said, one long sentence is confusing and will drive some members away when trying to help, me included.

Here's the background thread. I'll let y'all jump back and forth for exercise.
