2001 Chevy Tahoe 2wd Rear End questions
Ok so today i have noticed something horrible. When i turn left or right and not hit the gas just let my truck idle the rear end feels like it jams up. Which i guess is ok i havent really looked inside the rear end just yet just thinking worest case. But what i wanted to do is drop the stock gears in it no and put in 4.10 or 4.56 but not sure and hopefully you guys could me figure this out. Gas milage is no concern since i have a heavy foot anyway lol. I have to be the first one off the line everytime. So basically i want to remove all the stock stuff in the rear end and change everything over. And by the way it is a 5.3L 2WD. Any help would be great. Thanks.

well thank you for all your help kinda figured it was the G80. The part you were talking about, the detroit true trac part number 913a481. It is a limited slip unit i would like to put posi in the rearend but i think i am going to have an issue with my traction control, is this correct? Not a bad thought to put 4.88 in the rearend and tuning it. Planned on getting it tuned eventually but it looks like that will be happening sonner. Well thanks for the reply's and help.

Ok well you sold me where can i get this part for pretty cheap? Do you think 4:10 / 4:88 gear ratio is going to make a hugh difference? What would be the best bet overall in performance or from light to light? Also even if i swap to a higher gear ratio would i still need the truck to be tuned to run these? Thanks for all your guys knowledge and help.

Here is how I personally would break it down. It might be a bit different than most others:
28-30" tires:4.10s
30-33" tires: 4.30s
33-35" tires: 4.56s
35-37 tires: 4.88s
37 and bigger 5.13s
Personal opinion of course.
