The first thing you want to do is to determine exactly what differential ratio you have. Go look in your glove box for a label and look at the 3 digit codes Look for the ones starting with G?? I'm an guessing you will have one of these:
G80 Differential, automatic
GT4 Rear axle, 3.73 ratio
GT5 Rear axle, 4.10 ratio
GU6 Rear axle, 3.42 ratio
and possibly two with G80 (locking differential).
You need to match whatever you have now with those RPO codes.
Then you can start your search through rebuilders, Junk yards, and disassemblers. ( I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING SO I CAME HERE A SEARCHING ALSO....
Thanks and YES I HAVE A 373 GEAR RATIO AND SPIDER RING SIZE IS 373 AND PINION TYPE IS 8.0 AND 6 LUG NO LOCKER. REAR AXLE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PART NUMBER IS #25814899 THAT PART CAN BE CROSS REFERENCED. I CALLES THE GMC DEALER WITH MY VIN# AND THEY GAVE ME ALL THIS INFO ALREADY . I NEED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS A USED OR REFURBISHED ONE FOR UNDER 250.00$ OR BETTER YER 225.00$ BECAUSE THATS WHAT I KEEP HEARING. SOMEONE HAS GOT TO HAVE ONE OUT HERE IN EITHER A WRECK ON THE FRONT END TRUCK OR A USED ONE OR REFURBISHED ONE THAT WILL FIT 2007 MY GMC CANYON 4CYLINDER 2.9 ENGINE SINGLE CAB PICKUP. IT BLEW A HUGE HOLE IN THE DIFFERENTIAL..
