Need the whole differential (Drum to Drum)

[Pepi]

My Grandson had an accident in his 2008 Chevy Silverado LT work truck. The truck slide into a concrete block and broke the drivers side rear axle off. Appears the whole diff is bent also. Any of you guys mechanics and know where I could get a used (Drum to Drum) diff for his truck? His is a 3.23 ratio with no active brake control. I know its a shot in the dark but it don't hurt to ask.

Thanks

I found an axle on Craigslist from a truck in a field the guy was parting out. Replaced the whole assembly because it was way cheaper than replacing the bearings in the pinion.

With that much damage you might want to buy a complete truck with a bad motor or trans so you can get everything else you might need like new shackles and springs etc.

Try brothers auto salvage in Indy. I have had good luck with them

Take a picture of the RPO list, without the brake option code - potentially one as close as Fairmount for $250.

Are you looking for something from a salvage yard or something that's been gone through?
Indy rack & axle might be able to help

A friend replaced the Diff in his 97 Chevy 1/2 Ton a month ago. Got a complete one at Pick A Part on Moeller Rd in Ft Wayne.
