    Chevy C1500 rear end
    I've got a Chevy C1500 with a 10 bolt, 3.08 ratio rear end. It's a 2WD, 5.7L engine. I want to swap it with something with less mileage. Probably a later model. Is there a compatible rear end even if its not the same ratio?

    Why? Do you simply want to spend money or is there something qoing wrong with your current rear end? Changing the bearings in the rear end is relatively easy and inexpensive. Rear ends generally are the least problematic moving part in a car/truck. So why do you want to exchange it?

    How about instead of answering with a question you just give me a straight up answer?

    You chastized 450donn for not giving you a straight up answer. Well, I will give you a straight up answer.

    You asked: "Is there a compatible rear end even if its not the same ration?"

    The answer is yes.
