gears?
Question:
I would look for the whole rearend; housing and all. I can’t remember which axle you have, but if you have a 10 bolt, you can even use one that has the 5 bolt axles from a 2wd TRUCK. All you do is swap the brake backing plates and the axles(maybe pinion yoke?) with your old ones. Just make sure the gear ratio’s the same. This is the cheapest way I know of to fix it without having to buy and set up new gears (yuck!). highrider71

I recently posted about a 4 wheel drive not engaging, and from using 4 low with alot of rpm’s weakend the rear end, I know nothing about gears or changing them.. But can I take out the front gears and use the spider gears for now in the rear end just to use til after x-mas, I would use 4×4 to drive but the hub on one side is frozen or transfercase, not sure.. just in a bad situation, and need to drive it.

Response:
what I have done, and in a basic transportation need situation, was just run it in front wheel with the rear drive shat out. This is by no means good for the vehicle – but will get you to work.
Response:
GMC, No you can’t. And fooling with differentials is not a job for rookies. It takes lots of knowledge and some special tools. Have a mechanic look at it. The problem may not be what you think.

Maybe I’m missing something here. But I thought your immediate problem was getting the vehical operational so you could drive it to work. If you can’t disengage 4WD, they why not remove the front driveshaft? If the transfer case isn’t attached to the front gearbox, I don’t see how any damage can occur. -Knuckles

OK….. Got it in the garage. I cleaned out the hub as justme said, would remedy the problem, looked to be a little under greased for being 4 months old, So the front wheels grabbed, I left the rear shaft on figuring it wasnt making a sound moving, but did catch eventually, and worked but the big gap in the stripped gearno other real damage, now I can take the rear end cover off and assess the damage as soon as I can feel my feet… WI. is very cold right now……. Thanks for the tips people, The best x-mas gift I could ask for right now; besides new gears….lol I am sure a junkyard should have a surplus of them, any tips on putting it in or out befor I tackle it? please advise, Thanks again, Jim
