I'm not sure that they have made one for the gm 9.5 12 bolt diff, everywhere I go all they have are the ones for the 14 bolts. Is it out there or can I use the 14 bolt model in the 12 bolt?

They don't have one for the 12 bolt yet and you can use the 14 bolt inside the 12 with a kit from a couple of Vendors. Kinda Hackey but it can be done with the right parts.

They won't make one for these rear ends or they would have already. You can just buy this kit here......http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/c-963800-gears-install-kits-carriers-spider-gears-general-motors-gm-9-5-12-bolt.html

 

The aftermarket for these trucks diffs is a complete fail. At least you can convert the 9.5"..... the 9.76" junk my truck has will never have anything useful for parts made for it lol. Maybe 20 years from now.... but by then who really cares.

Skippy, wondering how did your install work out over the longterm?  Would like to do the same to mine.

I'm doing mine this weekend. My Truck is a 2015 5.3 1500. I already did the 3.42 to a 4.10. I installed that over a year ago. Sick of the open rear. Been going back and forth between the Yukon 9.5 Clutch style POSI. The Yukon is a direct swap now. No ring gear spacer needed. But I decided on the Truetrac and ring gear spacer. Stronger, no clutches to wear out. No additive needed. Just high quality non synthetic gear oil.

whats the part number on the Yukon?  if its a gov  posi its not worth the effort, they  kinda work but not  crisp and precise, the z71 gov lock is delicate, and you cant just stomp the throttle , they will break

The Yukon is not a GOV lock like the G80

I installed the Truetrac last night. You have to cut a little bit if the axle retaining thing. I don't know what else to call it. But it must be cut to get it into place past the ring gear. I don't know if that is because I have a 4.10 gear maybe not because my 3.42 gear was the same thickness. I didn't have to use any ring gear adapter going from 3.42 to 4.10 on the stock open differential. So maybe no need to cut this if you have a 3.23 and down numerically just guessing. So besides the Ring Gear adaptor and cutting the axle button gizmo it is a very straightforward Install. Set your Backlash from .006 to 010 add Fluid and drive it. Synthetic Fluid and additive Not Needed or reccomend. It Rips from a stop now. I can feel the whole truck kinda lift and launch now. I'll post more after I drive it a few Weeks. If you guys have anymore questions about the install just message me.0fdb7a9684e052b9dfabe49d18128e39.jpg094b5022f2f0a8f18f45a10ab6c088f3.jpg4a044df3ea681a6c656dd488156baaec.jpg

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.

      Would this be normal or a worn CV Shaft? 51K miles 3.5" lift? Boots are intact and no visible leaks showing. Attached is a the video I took. Thanks     https://youtu.be/ZnW7PPRmjJY?feature=shared

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.
