1/2 tons could have 4.10s out back..There is a website that gives you a decent breakdown...looking for it at the moment

lol id believe the dealership over your dad...

 

he does know that 4.10s were an oem option right? (my 2005 had 4.10s stock too).

 

you can also check the RPO codes in the glove box. i forget what the correct code is for 4.10s but im sure someone will post it.... i think its GU4 or GU5

Yes its in the glovebox with all the other RPO codes, you can look that up on this site, you just have to know which code it is. If you go to the site I posted earlier u will get something that looks like a build sheet

G80 is the locking rear diff. It should say somewhere, rear axle ratio. If you cant find it on compnine, use our RPO lookup or the one on compnine. You will have to enter in the 3 letter/digit codes in the glove box one at a time until you find out which one is the rearend code. I can remember right now which one it is but I will try and look for you! Someone else might post the rearend codes before I can get them.

You should look for one of these....

 

G84 : AXLE REAR, 4.10 RATIO

GW8 : AXLE REAR, 4.10 RATIO

GS3 : AXLE REAR, 3.73 RATIO

GU6 : AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO

it says GT5 for the RPO code, then "AXLE,REAR,4.10 RATIO 4.10R(GT5)"

then it says "G80" for the RPO, then "AXLE,REAR,POSITRACTION,LIMITED SLIP POSITRACTION L/SLIP R/AXL(G80)

 

That means that you have the 4.10s out back with the locking diff

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
