2wd rear end swap question.

by **ktrain evnoy** » Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:20 am

I have a 04 envoy sle I6. I work for a shop and can get a deal on a rear axel out of an 02 envoy with 4.10 with g80. I want to do the swap so i have power to both wheels when i am off pavement. Nothing crazy. Is it worth it? I heard there could be issues putting and older axel in a newer vehicle.

You are fine. The transition is 06.

The only issue you will have is the speedo being off a bit.

Where'd you find the 4.10 G80? I'm not having much luck

I feel like an idiot. I can't effectively search carpart...all I'm getting is options for the front cv axle.

Sorry :hijack:

I always searched for "Axle Assy Rear (w. Housing)
Looks like the same parts.

Thanks...turns out carpart.com is not car-part.com

If I open up to 2002 stuff I have some options.

Decisions....what about a used gear setup swapped onto my housing? Would that be worth the trouble?

Only if you're doing the work... I don't think it'd be worth the money for labor to regear.
