windowbarn 11-21-2008, 10:25 AM We have a 08 duramax here that needs the rear axle replaced but As I was searching around there seems to be two different sizes. There is the 11.5 ring gear and the 10.5 ring gear?? The truck we have has the 11.5 ring gear according to the dealership. Can you use either one and does the 07 classic and the new body style interchange?? Thanks dmaxvaz 11-21-2008, 10:31 AM only the 11.5 will work kylant 11-21-2008, 11:54 AM We have a 08 duramax here that needs the rear axle replaced but As I was searching around there seems to be two different sizes.

Thanks why does your axle need to be replaced? warranty item for sure!!:) squirrelmaster 11-21-2008, 12:56 PM The 11.5" ring gear is what all the Duramax's come with standard. The 10.5" ring gear is the standard 14-bolt for the gas engines. I have no idea about interchangeability between body styles though.

I was thinking it sorta looked like that is what it was but wasn't sure exactly. :) tinypeckerwood 11-21-2008, 08:07 PM Actually their are 3 14 bolt rear ends---- 9.5--10.5---11.5. 11.5 is the one you want windowbarn 12-24-2008, 11:14 AM Alright I got the 11.5 off an 07 classic for our 08 and the place where the drive shaft pops into and is held on by u-bolts is slight smaller than the one that was on the truck, and so it won't fit it in right. The bolt appears to be the same size that holds that yoke on as the other one. Does that thing just unbolt and come off?? CDR 12-24-2008, 04:36 PM Actually their are 3 14 bolt rear ends---- 9.5--10.5---11.5. 11.5 is the one you want Any of one. Of them will work if your putting together a wreak.... windowbarn 12-24-2008, 04:58 PM Any of one. Of them will work if your putting together a wreak.... You still have to get the right one even if it was a wrecked truck:) The axle housing and everything else is the same. Except for the brake lines and some of the cables. I'm just hoping that I can swap that pinion around. Thought I would see if anyone on here knows?? | ||
