How's it going guys. I have a 2008 Denali in the garage with the entire front differential out of it. Was looking for some answers and thought I would join your guys discussions. Wife is really antsy to get her baby back on the road. Never joined a forum before so if I do something wrong please call me on it.

Thanks again

Where is the best place to pose this questin? Put it in the technical sectiin and didnt get any hits...

 

Working on the wife's daily driver 2008 denali. Started making a grinding noise back in december. Long story short.... after tearing out the front diff, found a cracked case and a pile of bearings inside. Question is this... on a budget so, to start with, what other gm models will interchange with the awd gmc front diff in my suv? (GU6 code) How many different sizes were there? I assume I can't modify just a 4x4 version from a truck or tahoe. (Donor Denalis with low miles are chickens teeth). So I also assume I am looking at $1100 or more for a rebuilt part. Sure would be nice to keep it around 5 to $600... Doin all the work myself so will save on shop bill...any input is greatly apreciated... thanks Brad
