without them inspecting it yet I did a ton of research last night and I have come to the conclusion that it was the infamous GM Gov-Lok that shattered
too many one wheel burnouts and it tried engaging so it broke
it was pretty scary getting it to the shop today

getting the Eaton Posi LSD and 4.56 gears all for around $1100
should be done tomorrow

I just can't wait until I hit that 500 mile mark, replace the fluid and smash on it :D

going to be a big difference from stock 3.73's

my gov-lock?
...OH! you mean my grenade lock haha!!!
yeah it did they said it was pretty messed up when they took the cover off

and $1100 was a quote I got before they looked at it

they called right before they closed to confirm what they need to do tomorrow and it will be right around $1600 for the Eaton Posi and gears

this better be worth it!

JFC are they replacing the housing or something? I had a guy drop off his avalanche and we're rebuilding it with 4.10s and a trutrac for about $1200 otd. Should run quite a bit quicker off the line once they install everything tho :cheers:

well I forgot the breakdown of what went in but I can try to remember parts and what not

upon inspection.. positraction snapped, pinion teeth rough, metal in housing, and at the bottom of the pumpkin, and a couple other things messed up

they installed..
GM Eaton Positraction $595
4.56 Ring and Pinion $295
all the seals, bearings, and necessary install mumbo jumbo
Labor $340

grand total of $1625.80

I went in and paid $700 today but they are starting storage fees which will be $25 a day

I hate working on minimum wage
might have to start selling some stuff realllllly quick

I think the 4.56s were too steep. If the work isnt done yet, get them to swap for 4.30s. Which is the perfect gear for street. You will get tired of reving 3k rpm to do 70mph... (just appx) In city will be sweet, but hwy will get old.

My 3.73s with vmax engine on dubs does 73mph @ 1999 rpm. My truck is geared more for touring and street.
