I would guess 100lbs for the weight, not including brakes from either. Housing, axles, center chunk.

 

I know people are going to argue with me, but in my opinion, there is no reason to ever swap to the 14 bolt.

 

Heavy 4wds need strength

 

Well rob it won't be as heavy as my Dana 60 so that's a plus.

 

God the dana 60 is a tank

 

I know you're not, but I find it hilarious when people around here get into a tizzy over 100lbs or so. Seen it in the negatives argument for the 4l80e swaps. Have you seen the size of the vehicle you're working with?! It's not a miata!!

More for the project fun and jerking off to how much more I might be able to tow, I'll end up doing the 14 bolt some day.

 

Weight matters!! There is definitely a difference between a 4700lb rcsb z71 and a 5300lb 4wd Tahoe. The 80e is a non-negotiable weight addition. I'm still wondering why someone would go 14 bolt. Is it because they can get a take-out rear end for cheap and the swap costs them less than axles/trutrac/etc for the 10 bolt?

 

i agree weight matters, i changed my stock 10 bolt without a locker for a 14 bolt with a stock locker at the junkyard and paid 250 dlls difference

 

Is that lbs. or $ difference?

 

250? Hmm. Good point. That's another me riding passenger.
