Help please. Rearend on blazer tore to hell

[In2Deep]

Thanks merrit. I'm on my way down there now so I'll see what I can find

[Merritt]

No problem man. Forgot to mention that any rear out of a s10 will work also, they're the same. If you ever need any help s10forum.com has a ton of info.

The center section is, but the axle is 5" wider.

[Merritt]

Really? I didn't know that. Scratch the s10 axle then.

got one out of a 93. couldnt find any with disc brakes. gonna put it in tomorrow when i get off work. do they all use the same kind of lubricant or will i need to check and see what it takes

[Merritt]

I would just go with a good 80w90 gear oil

So it turns out the one I bot was out of a 4x4 blazer. I didn't realize it was. And it is also 5 inches wider. Didn't realize that until I already cleaned it up and painted over the markings they put on it. I got the warranty so they told me to go talk to the manager of the yard tomorrow and he should work something out with me. So I'm hoping they won't be stupid about it.

So went back today. Got the right one this time. Kinda hard fittin it in the back of a bagged mighty max with everything in the bed. But I got it in and bolted up and drained. Everything seems fine. I'll put the the lubricant in it tomorrow after work. Then all that's left is new shoes and hook the e-brake back up and bleed the brakes. And hopefully I'll be good to go.

[Merritt]

Did the new one you got end up having drums too?

[In2Deep]

Yeah they did. There was one rearend down there with disc brakes but it was in terrible shape
