Edit: typical internet. Went to fact checking this and some users are reporting 70.875 for width. I can measure this weekend sometime, unless Dan beats me to it. I have 3 here at the house. #hoarder

Ah, is it impossible to get AWD with 4L80? Guess maybe would require custom pieces.

Don't poke at Arthur. If we annoy him too much he will purposely not work on his projects. We just have to be patient!

@shakenfake

As far as 4x4 vs AWD goes, a selectable 4x4 T case is far superior to AWD for several reasons.

1: Selectable means burnouts, mud bogging, and hardcore street launches.

2: AWD has no low range

3: AWD is push button trash, with a selectable T case you can have a mechanical lever to beat into place which is more reliable IMO

4: The AWD case is lame because you need that expensive adapter to put a 80e in front of it.

the NVG149 AWD, like in the SS and the Denali has no push button. its always engaged

The OEM Part can be re splined. How ever its not easy to find some one that can do it locally.
