My '05 Chevy pickup has apparently towed too many miles for its taste, and the rear end is starting to whine a bit. Rather than spending a lot of time rebuilding the present differential I was just going to try to find a complete low-mileage rear end to swap into truck. My truck has drums in the back, and all I'm finding on the net so far is a large supply of '06 and later rear ends that are equipped with discs. So I've got the choice of swapping the drums onto the "new" rear end (assuming there's nothing odd/welded on the new axle tubes for the caliper brackets), or keeping the discs on the replacement rear end. What I don't know is if there's a residual pressure valve in the rear brake circuit of the truck (striking out so far on the web) which may cause issues with the calipers. Anybody have any insight into the brake system of my truck?
I don't mind spending time modifying/updating the Corvette, but I'd rather not have to burn up a bunch of time trying to get the pickup repaired and back on the road.
Any helpful input is appreciated.
