Default 2011 silverado rear end ?!? Help?

Looking to order my 4.10 ring and pinion and limited slip tomorrow, but I don't know which in particular I'm going to get... Has anyone else done a rear end on their 2010 or 2011 yet and If so what part numbers... I was told the rear end was changed up after 09

There was a bearing change in 09 but the gears stayed the same. Where are you getting them from?

Not sure yet on what brand to get, I have heard good things about yukon and the trutrac combo, but I think that is a locker. Also I have thought about eaton posi and the Richmond combo ... But what is the bearing kit that I need? Or can they all be reused ... Did u install yours yourself?

I had one of my techs install mine. I used new OEM bearings and factory 373s that I bought at a good price. The Tru-Track and Eaton Posi are the most popular choices. What size tire and transmission do you have?

New bearings all around. Should take a few hours if you have all the tools but if you dont know what your doing pay someone to do it for you.

I'm pretty mechanically inclined to I'm gonna give it a shot... We have a few press machines, and plenty of indicators at my work so I don't have a problem there. Is the try trac a locker or limited slip, or is there both?

I had mine done in a 2011. Tru trac with 4.56 Yukon gears. Also ordered a install kit with it. Ordered it all from Randy's ring and pinion
