They should be the ones I linked you to. Those were the ones I bought (If I remember right) and I have a 2000. Sucks to hear about missing work. I know the feeling.

 

new gears came and they're the same as the old ones.

They look nothing like the ones in the picture (the ones in the picture match my truck visually)

both boxes are marked 85-2022 which is correct.

guess i have to get my money back and go to the dealership

 

my dad decided to get in my truck yesterday and spin the tires. when he made a turn into the driveway I experienced the same sound and feeling in the rear end. is this the same problem?

 

probably, have to pull the rear cover off to inspect the spider gears inside the carrier.


Apparantly i have the bastard child of gm differentials. my diff has 2 large windows and most have one large, one small.

85-2022 is for one large, one small (most trucks have this)

85-2022a is for 2 large window carriers.

i wont get the correct gears untill monday.

 

well summit cant get the gears, so i got them from a dealership


gears i got from the dealership look the same as stock, but i cannot get them in

First i put the two gears that spine into the axel in, then i try to put the two small gears in, they wont go. i try to mesh them with the side gears and spin them in with no luck, ive tried for 2 hours.

upon close inspection to the original gear, they are not the exact same. the new ones ribs look a little taller, overall dimensions seem the same but the ribs seem bigger on the new ones.

anyone ever have this issue? im ready to drive the POS fwd off a cliff.
