I just bought a 2001 silverado z71 4x4 with 5.3 i need to know how to tell what rear end is in it and if its a limited slip or what it is.Any help please

tswiczko

If you look in the glove box there are a bunch of build codes .
I know G80 is the Gov Lock locking differential I believe GT4 is the 3:73 gears as to what the others are

Did your rear end grenade?

hondaman

no its makes a noise in 2wd on snow if it spins then grabs again it makes a popping noise every time it grabs.

The gov lock is not the average locker it has a set of weights that cause pressure to be put on the clutches and over a certain speed about 20 mph they release and act like an open carrier.

Because it is mechanically driven it doesn't require friction modifiers like spring loaded differentials..

Unfortunately mine grenaded about 2 weeks ago in my 00 silverado( 178,000 miles)

An after market replacement is cheaper than a factory and probably more dependable but at the moment I don't have that kind of money so I am waiting for the one I bid on at e-bay

Start searching the threads for gov. lock here and you will find a lot of information
