I just picked up a 2008 Sierra RCSB and I need to do something with the rear axle. Its whining and I don't know the history on the truck...and I want to install a Detroit Truetrac but the application guide is somewhat lacking (read: I don't know what I have)...

I had a dealer print my RPO codes from the VIN. I have 3.73 gears (GT4) but no code for the G80 locking rear diff...

What I need to know is:
10 Bolt => 8" OR 8.5/8.6"
Spline => 27 or 30

I believe the Truetrac should be PN 913A481.

Also, look at the notes from Summit Racing and let me know your thoughts. I assume I need the LM603049 bearing and LM603012 race.

Notes:8.5/8.6 in. Eaton differentials require special bearings. For axles with small bearing bores (race O.D. of 2.89 in.), usually found on vehicles prior to 1999, bearing LM102949 and race LM102911 are required. For axles with large bearing bores (race O.D. of 3.06 in.), usually found on vehicles from 1999 to present, bearing LM603049 and race LM603012 are required.

the truck has the 8.6" rear diff and it has the larger bearings, and it is a 30 spline.
for the master install kit and gears I highly suggest Rons Machine Service hes a site sponsor I believe and has good prices/service.
you should consider the detroit locker, do some googling searching on true trac failures. I daily my locker and will probly put one in every future vehicle as well

here's his gear and install kit
when I ordered mine I emailed him first and I upgraded the gears for a small cost, but still way cheaper then summit

I actually posted on Ron's vendor thread yesterday, but since its a holiday I didn't expect a response till Tuesday at the earliest...

I have 3.73 gears now.. can I reuse the ones I have?
When you say you upgraded, what are you referring to?

The truck is a dialy driver and will never see a drag stip...
