    Another 10 Bolt G80 Locker Bites The Dust...

    I put a trutrac in my 93 K1500 ten years ago after the G80 exploded while driving (center pin flew out because last owner/mechanic must not have tightened 8mm set-bolt properly). Pieces of the carrier were poking through the rear cover. It has performed great, although sometimes because the...

    10 bolt axle radial play.

    Thanks, I will definitely pop it open before I pull it. Shurkey, yes G80 is a bonus if it works, I've had several that are busted which is why there is now a detroit trutrac in my 93 K1500. You say you searched for years for 3.42, is that because you wanted to avoid re-gearing a suitable...

    10 bolt axle radial play.

    Thanks for the replies. I doubt it’s the right ratio simply because my truck is 3.42 which I think is less common in 3.73 right?

    10 bolt axle radial play.

    I found a 6-lug 14-bolt at the local pick-a-part. Should I grab the beefier leaf springs too?

    Thanks for the replies. 6-lug 14-bolts are pretty scarce though right?...I'll take a stab at the axle bearings first and then go from there.

    10 bolt axle radial play.

    I rebuilt the rear ten years ago. Not noisy at all, and gear oil stays fresh, no metal shavings. I did not check runout, only up and down travel and got 0.010”. Trying to understand whether that could be causing the leaking seals before I spend time to replace the axles bearings/seals.

    10 bolt axle radial play.

    Folks, 93 K1500: both rear axle seals are leaking, and one of them is leaking after I installed it new a couple months ago. I’m concerned the axle shaft bearings may be worn? Truck has 290,000 miles. Radial play on both is about 0.010” according to my dial indicator. Is this excessive? I also...
