Negative. Axles don’t show no numbers. They are wiped out. Need to figure out what year axle I have so I can spend some money

Re: Axle GM 12 Bolt Rear end ID help

Found these 2 holes hiding under grime. Can’t be a good sign. Is this common? Probably rusted inside right?

Re: Axle GM 12 Bolt Rear end ID help

The housing ratio Id doesn't match the r&p ratio..so I wouldnt go by that
The housing shows it used to be 2.73s
The r&p is 3.73s

Re: Axle GM 12 Bolt Rear end ID help

Yeah will most likely keep it 3.73s. It’s just gunna be a DD. Thanks a lot! Looking to order new brakes or upgrade to disk and all new r&p set. What years would be safe and any good companies to consider? CCP and Yukon are nice but a little expensive. But you get what you pay for
