more lift ?

[purple 'hoe]

ya man i totally agree to that im not looken to be fake or anything like that . . . and your' ride sounds like some sweet potential man . . . the only thing im worried bout messen up on the truck is driven it with that bolt missin out of the bottom of the center axel i can see part of the gasket so i would figure there aint any gear oil in but it don't give me any problems and i haven't seen it leak so i don't know maybe its nothin

Thanks. It's nothing special right now, just another lifted IFS Chevy. I'm still collecting/researching for my swap and rebuild.

Just go to your local GM dealer and pick one up. Keep an eye on it until you get that bolt in there. Not sure how much it will cost, but I'm assuming about 2 or 3 dollars. Don't quote me on that though, lol.

If you're worried about the fluid level, pull the fill plug (located on the passenger side, towards the top of the differential) and check the fluid. If you stick your finger in it, you should be able to feel fluid just below it.

it's a 14 bolt, it has 13 other bolts holding the cap in place

it's been like that since I swapped the axle under it and no problems.

Posi-Traction and a Solid Axle are two different things. A "posi-track" is a traction device used in a "solid axle". A solid axle is what you have in the rear of your truck. According to your trucks former owner, it's a 14bolt. I'd assume (don't take my word on this though) and say it's a 14 bolt SF (Semi Float). The front axle will be the GM IFS 8.25.

You're rear axle is a solid rear axle. Front is IFS. Independent Front Suspension.

There are a few different types of "traction devices" used in solid axles. Just google some of them. Lockers, LSD's, Lockout's, Spools, Mini-Spools, Welded Differentials. Yada yada yada

Do yourself a favor bud, start researching about your truck. Crawl under and take a look at everything. Understand what axles you have, and lift you have. Once you have a good/full understanding about your truck, then start deciding on what you want to do with it. And what/how you wanna build it.

ya ight i understand that . . . the only thing i ever understood was that a possi only allowed one wheel to slip and a solid allowed both wheels to spin wheather one was stuck or not but ya il research it . . . just about everything that i do know how to do on the truck from changen a spark plug to dropen the engine is from teaching my self iv never really had someone to actually run me through everything and how everything works i guess i just found it easyer makeing my self look dum by asking so many questions lol. . . but thanks for advise man

You have a 14BSF. My guess is it has a locker or Trutrac or something close to that

Solid axle is when you remove the IFS and add an axle like out back but in the front.

 

[BlackedOutHoe]

it has the factory G80. I only can comment on that b/c of Kris typing legible.

What you're thinking of would be called an "open" axle. Meaning that the axle does not have any traction device installed.

I do not know a ton (anything at all) about the g80 in the 14 bolt. I'll go out on a limb and say it is much stronger than it's little brother though? Please correct me if I am wrong though.
