Yup, the 14 bolt came in the Max trucks and 2WD SS trucks. The AWD SS trucks got the 10 bolt...I assume because GM thought w/ the AWD the 6.0 wouldn't stress the rear end like it would in a 2WD/selectable 4WD truck.

Don't mean to thread jack but Would swapping an ss 14bolt in place of an 10bolt be a good upgrade? or is there any known problems with these?
