8.5" Or 7.65" 10 Bolt?

Post by killian96ss »

What is the best way to determine if I have the 8.5 or 7.65 rear end? Is there a code or something? I have a 2001 Crew Cab with the G80 and 3.73 gears. Thanks, Steve

All S10's are the 7.625 rear -- 8.5 is the full size, and I think the ZR2's.

Correct, you will definitely have a 7.625" unless you swapped the rear-end yourself.
