That, and in 2007+, a lot more of the models were optioned/ able to be optioned with the 6.0,/6.2 in 1500 trim (5 link). Before 07 the only 1500 5 links with the 6.0/6.2 were Escalades and Yukon/XL. Everything else with the bigger engine had the 2500 leaf. The 5.3's w/ 6 speed I beleive still...

Ya, I think the earlier than 2007 couldn't have the 4.10, but at least according to my sources, nnbs(07-13) could, along with the g80. Also the 07-13(nnbs) could also be in the avalanche, suburban, Yukon and Yukon XL, rather than just the escalade and Yukon with the gears you mentioned, so...

The one I bought, according to the VIN, came off a 2007 Suburban LTZ with G80 (locker) and GT5(4.10). I did not actually see the vehicle, so I can't confirm that, but have no reason to believe otherwise. In one of the previous posts in this thread, according to my research and my GM guy, are...

Interesting about the drive shaft, thanks for the insight, I already bought the new joint, but maybe if I do the e-locker I'll couple that into that project. I found this thread that documents the install process, and also the joint if anyone in the future needs...

Bought a link setup 14 bolt SF (9.5 and 6 lug) with 4.10 and G80 yesterday for $1100. (Code GT5 is 4.10 and G80 is the locker, obviously) As I expected the 14 bolt above, is about $300-$400 more than a leaf spring 14 bolt, and much, much more rare (though the leaf will have the 10.5 and not...

Looks like I will be going with the 14 bolt SF... Don't know where you guys are finding them that cheap (maybe the FF are that cheap) but I like the idea of the SF being bolt in (except for some fabbing for the parking brake), and already 6 lug. Between FF and SF, if I am breaking this axle, the...

Yep, that's the problem, Right now I'm looking at 10bolt: $700 for e-locker $400 for gears 14bolt: $1000 for 14 bolt and "shave kit" $1000 e-locker (if I can find it) $400 gears. Good news is the 14 bolt I am looking at just needs modification of parking brake, and the rest is bolt in...

The standard k2500 uses a 14 bolt Full float with leaf spring rear in my understanding. I am looking at 14 bolt semi floats from certain models of Escalades and Yukons (Coil and shock, not leaf), that will bolt right up to a 1500

Thanks! The shaving kit is interesting. Never seen those before, and didn't know they were an option. Dang, just made my decision harder, I had almost talked myself back to the 10 bolt. I really am having trouble finding the Eaton e-locker for it, and would prefer not to go to an air locker...

Axle talk... I've got a 2004 1500 Suburban on 33's lifted with a 6 inch Rough country (IFS is fine for my uses, it's not a rock crawler, it's a Suburban. My use is to just get over any moderate trail with little problems, which it does.) I have been looking at upgrading the rear axle to a 14...

Not too worried about the longevity of the AGM, they are so cheap, and will be replaced at my ~3 year service intervals. Just as a follow up… Ended up making the aux bank, with Haf-e's suggested fuses on the individual cells. I diverted one of the 20 watt solar panels to charge this...

Haf-E thank you for the thoughts... I never thought of the current at the terminals being an issue, as with parallel, theoretically the current seen should be limited at each of those contact points to the current produced by the battery, I guess in the case of a cell failure, the current could...

Hi everyone! Been a lurker here for quite awhile... Have a 2004 Suburban with a pretty fair amount of "features" for overlanding/ we call it “luxury camping” (140w worth of solar, winch, 14bolt rear end with e-locker, 33's leveled, onboard air, homebuilt hot water and cold water...
