OK so I've found plenty on regearing the rear. And I know there's some swapping gotta do, what am I looking for in regards to regearing the front diff.

 

For what it's worth looking to go to 4.56 since I'm. Running 35s and 6.5 inch lift

Plan to, not many places up where I'm at in Canada have done the swap I think. Big shop that did my lift said " they're sure they could" but I don't think they knew it's more than just swapping gears, so I wanted the info for everything incase they didn't know. But they power train warrantied my truck for the lift, and pree sure they will for the regearing also so I want them to do it.

Rdnck is right. The front diff if anything is the easy one as it is the same as previous years. The rear diff is the one that is new.

 

If you have 3.08 gears you will need a new carrier from what i gather but other then that its a straight up gears and install kit that is needed.

Have 3.42 but I understood anything over 4.10 needed carrier. I want to go to 4.56 atleast

not what I have read.

 

Only if you are upgrading from the 3.08s you will need a new carrier...you can go 4.88s and not need a new carrier.

 

I will be going with 4.10s because I DO have 3.08s and the truck hunts for gears more then I would like and that is with 33s...imagine 35s lol

Can u verify that? It was your gear swap post I was originally reading and I was sure in there you had said with the 3.42 can go up to 4.10 direct swap, but 4.56 (like I want) need new carrier. Yoke ect

I believe that was for the rear on the k2 trucks is what you were reading. I had inquired with Yukon gear about it about a year ago

Ya haha, cuz I figured I had the info figured out on the regarding for the rear. That's why I posted in the k2 section. I just couldn't find anything if the front diff had changed at all

 

Then TX Jose got me confused. He thought with 3.42s a 4.56 would be a direct swap in the rear.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
