Ill be swapping out my stock G80, for my tru-trac shortly and I've got everything figured out except one thing LOL... How the hell will the axles stay in?!?

The rear is a 03 Z71 3.73/G80... The G80 uses C clips, and this Detroit has me stumped

I know besides that, all I need is new ring gear bolts, gear lube and check backlash, re-shim if needed and go... Right? Gears are going back in, not disturbing the pinion...

 

you reuse the same C clips.

 

Yep, re-use the c-clips. Then a spacer goes in between the axles and the cover to the access hole holds it all in.

 

Do you have to take out that snap ring to get in there?? I haven't taken it off yet to look... Just scratching my head like a monkey trying to open a rock

 

Yes, remove the snap ring. It will all become clear. Damn I have enough pictures to sell a shop manual

 

I didn't want to take that thing off and the guts start coming out... That'd be my luck lately.

 

To operate you have to get bloody

Look above, I posted the innards! FYI mine came with the plug already out. In a seperate bag with the spacer and lock ring.

 

Ben, i cant believe you... Your suppose to open it up and then ask how to put it back together...

 

Ben, Im off Sunday if you need help with anything. Or someone to stand around and drool rather....

 

Ride on down... I'm sure Ill either be here breaking stuff or scratching my head and figuring out how to put something back together.
