ohhh yea that's the main reason i am selling my C1500 because i need something that can hold a car seat otherwise i would keep it

sorry what is CC? chevy colorado?

my c1500 was considered a full size pick up for its day and now its more like a medium/small but it has a towing capacity if 6500 lbs and i need it for my trailer looked online and the 2010 colorado was a max of 6000 lbs so id rather not go backwards my trailer is anywhere from 3000-4000 lbs depending on the trip.

I am looking for the biggest 4 door there is for those years since kid number 1 is on its way which is why I am getting rid of my 2 door C1500. I believe that would be the crew cab not the extended cab.

looking at upgrading from a 1996 c1500 to a 2010-2013 4x4 Silverado 1500 but curious if this platform is a good rock crawling vehicle. not going over anything crazy but my daily driver is a subaru outback with 7.5" of clearance cant go up a few of my hunting trails. not looking to modify too heavily since it mostly will be a daily driver maybe just a 2" lift, light bar and skid plates. just seeing what current owners of this platform have run into.

CamGTP thanks for the tip I was able to get the old axle out but I broke the parking brake cable when I was doing so. It never worked anyway so I’m just going to ignore that for now but will fix it in the near future. The U-bolts had to be cut as they were not coming off with all the rust. The replacement axle will go in tomorrow once I pick up the new bolts up at the parts store. One of the brake cables broke while removing it from the junkyard truck. If I have to custom bend the brake lines is it flared or double Flared and at what angle?

Same generation mine is a 96 and it was pulled out of a 97 same gear ratio

i have a 1996 chevy C1500 and i started hearing a grinding from the rear a few weeks ago and just thought it was the driveshaft carier bearing. was so much worse as the mechanic says the pinion seal went out which dried the system causing damage to the bing, ring and pinion with a $1400 rebuild bill. i got a used 10 bolt rear end from a lower milage junkyard truck of the same gear ratio and need a step by step of what i should remember when dropping the old one and putting the new one in for those who have taken on this project.

so after the last month I have changed the plugs, wire, rotor, shocks, idler arm and bracket, rear pinion seal, pumpkin gasket and oil, radiator, battery, drum shoes, and added a trailer brake controller. finally ready to do some serious driving and I get a P1870 code while pulling the pop up to the campground. we made it there but i need this thing in running shape for taking the camper to sturgis in 2 weeks please help. I just order this product off amazon a TCC valve upgrade replacement by Fitzall and also going to test the TCC PWM soleniod anything else i can do?
