hey guys

over here in Australia we dont get many parts come up for sale on ebay and lately i have been wanting a lsd for my truck because im sick of it doing 1 wheelers, anyway a guy has just put up a 30 spline lsd for a 2000 model silverado, i just want to know if this will fit in my 1996 c/k2500 gmc? any help would be great.

thanks mitch

 

What's an lsd??

 

A limited slip?

 

well depending on your model of 3/4 ton you either have a semi floating 14 bolt or full floating 14 bolt. light duty models have the semi floating like my truck and hd models having the full floating.

now if the 2000 silverado is a old body style 2500 it will fit. if its a new style it wont.

hahaha thats funny. LSD= Limited Slip Differential. and the only was a 2000 axle could work in a 1996 is if its a gmc sierra classic. newer generations have completely different axles, not to mention disc brakes. you can make it work by moving spring perches but the axle lengths are a little different. it is possible though. and if it has rear discs itd be worth it. just make sure your not putting a weaker axle in your truck if you haul. your best bet to make it an lsd rear end is just to buy a carrier from a 88-98 axle and just throw it in your housing. that way you could probably get someone to ship on to you because the carrier is small enough to ship

 

thanks for the replys guys, is there anywhere i would be able to buy an lsd suited for my truck from an online store in the us or oz? As i would much rather buy something im 100% sure on. any recommendations??

thanks mitch

 

i thought u were talkin bout lsd diesel

 

you can get a locker. detroit locker, arb, ox lock. that is even better than a lsd. but first you got to figure out what axle you got. do you have 6 lug or 8 lug axle

 

more importantly if its an 8 lug is it a semi float 9.5" ring gear (oval shape pumpkin) or a 10.5" full float (odd shaped pumpkin) that will also matter. either of those axles have a wide variety of aftermarket accessories (I.E. Lockers etc). as woody said, a locker is a much better option than a limited slip, especially if its a g80 limited slip from the chevys theyre garbage
