I was curious what it would take to make an AWD SS Silverado into a 2wd.

thanks,

Just remove the drive shaft from the transfer case to the front differential.

Wait, that sounds too easy. I'm sure there's something else involved.

 

I'm not sure what kind of center diff is in the SS, but on some vehicles, pulling the driveshaft is a big no-no. You would burn out the viscous units in many imports, and to do 2WD, we generally had to weld the center diff.

 

buy a new one its now an option, probably be cheaper in the long run.

 

Yup like 02sierra said just buy a 2wd and save yourself the hassle

 

I knew it couldn't have been that easy.

 

thanks

 

keep the AWD it launches like a son of a beach... just ask out2win... right cuzz jeje

 

Its possible if you you removed the front drive shaft you wouldnt be 100% power to the rear some allwheel drives send power like 60 to the rear and 40 to the front if I remember right thats how it was on a buddies gmc syclone

 

On the late, late model ones if you disconnect the front shaft it causes havoc w/ torque transfer on the front to rear biasing and sets the abs light on and the check engine light. Damn computers.....
