1994 Gmc Sierra Differential question

[Marsal420]

I found a Differential for a 3QUarter Ton and i was wondering if this would fit my 1/2ton pickup? THe bidding is about to end so please hurry with a reply.

[Tiny1987]

honestly the main difference between 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton is in the suspension so i would give an 80% chance of it fitting

[Marsal420]

Yeah, i also asked the guy and he said it would fit because there both 4x4's , so that being said $130shipped pick it up or pass?

[2000CAYukon]

The axles for 3/4 ton is 8 lug and the axles for 1/2 ton 6 lug, right. So the question is will you have to swap (or replace) the axles? Run an adapter?

Not really sure about the axles, but something to think about.

The other issue is mounting differences.

So it wont work then? Because i was told by the seller it would, I have chose to buy the item but am not able to purchase it untill early next week because of an ew account issue, so should i contact the seller and tell him i no longer can purchase it ?

[Marsal420]

Ok, so i got into contact with the guy on ebay and this is what he told me.

"THIS WILL WORK, THIS IS A 6 LUG, THIS ONE WILL WORK, THIS IS A LIGHT DUTY 4X4 TRUCK NOT THE HEAVY DUTY STYLE....THIS CAME WITH 6 LUGS FRUM THE FACTORY"

I always thought they made 3/4Tons in only 8Lugs, did they ever make them as a 6lug? I think im gonna look into this alittle more also so if anyone has an answer to this please respond asap.

[bisonman]

they did make them in a 6 lug axle, seems like you got a good buy
if you look at many of the 3/4 ton trucks in 89 through at least 95, the axles are the same.

[Marsal420]

Yeha, i have been looking aroudn and finally i found one so hopfully this one will be a direct bolt on.

$130
80,000 on the Diff

60day return.

Seems pretty good...
