ok im fixing to order gears for my truck and the richmond gears i want says it will not work with factory reluctor ring.....? does a 2005 chevy silverado 1500 have a center mounted abs reluctor ring? and if so how did u guys do that to make it work? and
will me changing gears make my abs light come on and stay on? please help im ordering everything for a ten bolt 8.625 ring 30 spline axle? sound like factory equipment? right now i have a ten bolt with the explosive g 80 and 3.23 i know its a dog! any help will be appreciated thx

 

Hmmm i dont know what there talking about cause there isnt anything read off either diff..Where are you ordering from???

 

Whaaaaaaat?

GM is axle mounted reluctor rings in the wheel bearing assembly.

8.25 IFS Front
8.625 Rear

8.5 or 8.6 gears (they are the same) Carriers and install kits are different.

ABS Light will be on, yes. Get a Tune. Most tuners will do just a gear adjustment for 80-100 bux. Or get a full tune for 250-300 and get a few extra ponies.

Tuners: Black Bear, Nelson Performance, etc...

EDIT: I am a tard... 2wd. No ABS sensors on these trucks in the rear, only front mounted sensors and VSS on tranny

 

thx guys. i checked in my hayes book and it says my 2wd is vss on the tranny. that was a note on that part number from summits book. but i was able to contact summit today and get hopefully the right stuff. so we will see. if all goes well ill have a complete fresh 4.10 true trac ten bolt! hells yeah! tired of scorching one tire 90 mph w/ a g80

 

i have a bully dog triple dawg that will adjust for different gear ratios. will that work to keep the abs light off or will i have to go to a actual ecm reprogram place ?

 

That should work fine.

 

ok someone give me an exact list of specialty tools ill need, for a rear end build? i know a dial indicator, press, torque wrench, what else??? anybody? oh yeah summit is fast parts are here in less than a day

hey thx andrew that is an awesome thread.

 

Do yourself a favor. If this is your first time, buy 1 to 2 extra crush sleeves.

Use the stock pinion shim size, usually .035.
