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.

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
