AWD SSS and Sierra Denali AWD ran 4:10 gears standard. Never have seen a 2WD SSS in this state.

awd sss had 10bolts with 410s
2wd sss had 14bolts with 373s
also sierra denali didnt use a 14 bolt, more long the lines of a dana for the quadsteer option

my ten bolt was 260 pounds IIRC
my 14 bolt is like 390, but 70 of that is in the HUGE drums, so if you do a disk break conversion, your lookin at 330 pounds, only 70 pounds more than a 10 bolt with drum breaks, but ALOT stronger, thats just my opinion, i wanted a rear axle i know could take a beating

Also, to make things even more confusing, not all Sierra Denali's were quadrasteer.

You're all over this Quik!

It's not too badly confusing:
'01 Sierra C3 = 10 Bolt
'02 - '04 Sierra Denali = Dana 60 Quadrasteer
'05 - '07 Classic Sierra Denali = 10 Bolt
'07 to current - Sierra Denali AWD = 10 Bolt
'07 to current - Sierra Denali 2WD = 14 Bolt

the 14b is much, much stronger than the 10b. i put in a 14b because even though there are guys with 10bs running tons of power, i am heavier than most at 6000+ and have 35" tires, which really take a toll on the rear end.
