09 rear end swap
I have a line on a complete 3:73 rear end assembly out of an 08 sierra that I would like to swap into my 09 crew that has 3:32 gears. This unit is LOW mileage, and the rear-end is CHEAP! I would be switching everything from brake drum to brake drum.
I need to ask the obvious questions here: 1. will it fit correctly 2. will it create problems with ABS, Traction control, etc. 3. can the computer be re-flashed for a different ratio cheaply and/or easily 4. what other problems have I not thought about that this swap might cause (other that warranty issues) Will this be a "plug and play" swap? I googled and came up with several threads on boards that are not nearly as friendly as ours, and that left me with more questions than before. I have wanted to make this swap since I got the truck, but gear swaps are very expensive on these trucks.

Re: 09 rear end swap
Thanks Jerry! I already let the rear end go though.
I just don't know much about this latest generation of trucks.
