Rear yes, but will require different rear wheels and drive shaft. Front is a no. Front you are looking at 07.5-13 1500. Rear you can go 99-13 1500, but all 99-04 1500 rears and 07.5-13 1500 with 6.0 and 6.2 will have rear dosc brakes. Also the 07.5-13 6.0-6.2 rears are a 9.5" semi-float instead of the 8.625" semi.

To swap front suspension to a 2500 requires a new frame. You are looking at 2 different suspension systems. The rear, i ran 2500 springs on my 04. To do what you want it will be cheaper to buy a new truck

Thanks man

I was buying a second truck anyways. Only reason i bought the truck is i couldn't pass it up. At 8800 and only 130,000 miles ya know. Do know anything bout suspension upgrades. Thats the main reason i was looking to do all this. I run plow in winter time.

No.

 

The frames are different between the two trucks and the 2009 Silverado rear axle uses ABS/traction control and the 2000 rear axle does not.

I have a front diff. From a 2018 chevy. Will it fit in my 2003 chevy

No. We are talking two generations of trucks newer than yours, it's not going to work.

Can I put a 2018 Silverado 1500 diff on my 08 Silverado 1500? And if so what modifications are necessary?

Which end?  I don't know if the brackets are the same for the rear, they do use a larger Yoke and U-Joint.

 

K2s use a 9.5 or 9.76 12-Bolt Salisbury axle whereas the 900s use an 8.6 (10-Bolt) or 9.5 (14-Bolt) Saginaw axle.

Can I put the front struts off a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 on a 2008 GMC YUKON XL

 

 

Yes, but it will ride like crap.  The front suspension on most pickups is rated for 3950 and the Yukon XL is 3600.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
