What years will fit rear end swap? 2008 Silverado


Recommended Posts

Hey how's it going everyone i recently picked up a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 5.3 and my spider gears in my rear differential are shot (G80) looking to get a new rear end since rebuilding seem difficult just wondering what years I should be looking for for a direct bolt in.  Drum brakes JF3 GT5 G80

Spider gears are easy to change if that is the only problem

i thought they were eazy i even ordered a set of USA gears off of amazon but after doing some reading online looks like you cant swap gear on a G80 Diff or so i thought

The thing would be finding 4.10 gears.  The axle is the 8.625" axle.  4.10 and pulled from a 5.3 would be 2007.5-2008.  Those were the only two years the 4.10 gears were an option.  If you got an 09-13 axle you'd have to re-gear it.    

 

You don't have JL4 Stabilitrak but you could still probably swap an axle with that option in if that's all you can find, just if there are any wheel speed senors on it cut the wiring off and leave the sensors in.
