Ran out to my shop on my lunch break and pulled the worst of the 2 axles.. cut the boot off the end but didnt see any sort of clip but was also short on time. Beat the s**t out of it with a small sledge and it finally came off. Dont like doing it this way but if I can get by without spending $400 on HD axles im ok with it

Will try this for sure

Is it just a snap ring holding that outer end? just never taken one apart but cant be that difficult i wouldnt think

From what I can tell its the same but just put hubs on the truck a year or so ago. Might pull one axle and just see if I can tear it apart and keep the splined end, that way it wont cost anything . Thanks

06 Z71, leveled on 33's and im going through CV's about 2 times a year. Rarely ever put the truck in 4wd so thinking of just deleting. Extended travel CVs around $400 but cant I just replace hubs with capped end 2wd hubs and remove axles? I can do this for half but want it to be safe. Rather not try and take axle apart and use the ends but can anyone confirm 100% this will work? Thanks!

I realize this is an old post but Solas, did you figure it out? I have an 06 Z71 and its doing the exact same thing. Warning lights pop up on dash, all gauges drop to zero, radio turns off, windows/doors wont work, etc but truck still runs. If I have AC on , fan will continue blowing but compressor not sending cold air. If i turn the truck off and restart, its usually fine. Fairly new Interstate battery, will check ground and connections but this is driving me crazy
