So, sorta back to my original question, how do I tell which diff I have? Powertrax lists 10 different GM rears. And there application app doesn't offer anything for a '16 Express of any size, much less my 3500. They do list it for yours.

I just emailed them.

taking what ARTIE 1 mentioned .... ( cause he has many vans ) you wont know
for sure till you look at the tag on the Diff.. I know that be true with Fords.
when I raced I used ford 9 inch and they all had tags that told what
gear and size of the diff. gotta look at the tag.
