What axels do I have
 

I have a 91 k5 blazer and I'm looking for gears. What Are my front and rear axels. Are they Danas I honestly have no idea where to look. If they are Dana's which ones are they.

Post pictures of the housings and more importantly the covers and we can tell you. K5 is a half ton and very doubtful it has Danas. More than likely 10 bolts and possibly a 12 bolt in the rear not sure when they stopped using them.

Re: What axels do I have
 

Won't be a Dana if origional. It will be a 10 bolt front and rear 8.5 ring gear. If origional. Go to summit and just plug in your truck info.

Probably not, post pictures or the G codes off of the glove box label and we can help you. Without the correct info we are just guessing, you don't want to by parts off of a guess.

Yeah we need good pictures of both axles to tell,Its a old truck who knows if its still got the stock axles or has someone swapped in different ones.

Looks like:

GAM which I don't find quickly
GQ1 standard axle ratio
GU4 rear axle 3:08 ratio

Re: What axels do I have
 

I found this thread in a search, but my question didn't get answered.
If jbristo67 didn't have the RPO list in his glove box. Which is my issue.

How can the frt and rear axles be identified? and the ratio? without the RPO list

Re: What axels do I have
 

The axle type can be confirmed by simply posting a picture here. The cover is the best shot.
As far as ratio, the only way to be sure is to remove the cover. The gear's tooth-count will be stamped in the edge of the ring gear.

Re: What axels do I have
 

if they are original axles they will be 30 spline ten bolt 8.5.

Re: What axels do I have
 

Just go to Jaws gear, they will sell a gear set for your truck. If it original just plug your truck info in. They will both be 8.5 ring gears, front and rear are the same.
