So my 2020 RST 6.2L has the 9.76 rear and apparently you can only get 3:73 gears for it??? I need at least 4:88s to accommodate wheels & tires. Also talked to East Coast gears and they said the front cannot be swapped because the carrier is welded! Does anyone know if this is true? They suggested I put in a Dana 60 in the front and a 14 bolt in the rear???!!! Anyone know if any of this is accurate???

The ring gear is not serviceable on the front that is correct.  Not 100% on method of attachment however but you can't purchase the ring gear on its own from GM, you have to get a complete carrier.  

 

Might have to change your mod plans.

What are you doing, 37's or 40's to need 4.88's with a 10 speed auto??

 

Gears are important but less important the more speeds the transmission has. The days of the 4 speed auto's that need 4.56's or 4.88's for huge tires are long gone.

 

You're pretty much out of luck, run what you got and deal with it or switch to 3.73's. Then tuning is going to cost you a nice chunk on money.

Well...I know I'm gonna catch A Lot of ****** for this but it's going up on a custom 18" lift with 44X19.50R26 Interco Boggers. I know one other person doing the same thing for a SEMA build. He said he had to change the whole front assembly and was gonna check on what parts the shop used? He said he has 4:88's...not sure how he got those in the rear or where he got them? I was thinking he needed one step higher than than the 88's. I also don't think he has the 6.2L or the 10 speed but he does have the 9.76. I'm not worried about tuning it...that's a given!

Uhhhhhh...??? Is that a thing, lmao!? Forgive my ignorance...I'm a Marine Corps aircraft mechanic. Can you fit that in there?

Yes. The 9.5” 12 bolt most of the 1500’s have is just a refreshed 9.5” 14 semi floater. Parts swap between them. 
 

Meanwhile the 9.76” ring gear is just the biggest ring gear you can fit in the same housing. So you could “step down” to the 9.5” ring gear and get lower gears and lockers for the rear. 
 

The front...maybe he used an older half or 3/4 ton IFS front axle adapted over?  They had lower gears available.

Hey "new dude" "AJM" why would they weld it and make it unserviceable?

Semper Fi Devil Dog!!! I'm a veteran too...6030 Aircrew "flight mech" KC130. Got out in 98'. Was stationed at Cherry Point...my ex wife was a Navigator on same bird stationed at Miramar before everything went to El Toro...then she went there after Cherry Point. Had quite a few friends that were Crash, Fire, Rescue...

CFR was our nemesis. Still have a H&HS Miramar CFR magnet that I acquired in a raid. 
 

I was in Miramar ‘98-01. El Toro was closing in ‘98 as I got there. Helped in the unit moves to Miramar. 
 

I doubt they’re “welded”. Do wonder if maybe the carrier and ring gear are one piece?  Have to find an exploded diagram.

Yeah...had that backwards didn't I...El Toro was closing and went to Miramar is what I meant... Guy from East Coast Gears said it is welded? I remember this one woman Marine that was CFR at Cherry Point...she was so ridiculously HOT! Everyone on the base was all over her, lol...surprised she made it, lol. Have any idea where I could get a Dana 60 & 14 Bolt...? I wonder if I could get "AnyLevelLift" to fit, lol? Trying to take this show build to the next level...I know it's a 1500 but it's actually my daughter's truck so it makes more sense....kinda, lol. The wheels are 26x16 Rogue 2-piece forged concave in total show chrome...takes 8 blanks to make them. They were going on a SEMA build for 2020 but there guy totaled his truck and SEMA never happened last year anyway. Got an incredible deal on them as they start at $12K.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
