    Did GM use Spicer parts from the factory?

    As the title asks, did GM use Spicer axle shafts on the 10 bolt front end from the factory or is that aftermarket only? If anyone knows anything about it, it would be greatly appreciated. I couldn’t fine anything on the internet. Thank you all in advance!

    Oil pan off, anything I should do while I’m under there?

    I have my oil pan off for a new gasket and was wondering if there is anything I should do, check, or look for while I’m under there? It’s my first look at the bottom end of this engine and I’m very surprised that it’s as clean as it is.

    Knocking noise in D and R after high revs

    This knocking noise just started happening after I did a couple high revs in the driveway. It only starts knocking in Drive and Reverse. Sounds just like a rod knocking but obviously isn’t that. I don’t know what else to say but I can answer any questions. Thanks in advance!

    Can anyone identify this rubbing noise?

    I have this odd rubbing noise coming from the front of my truck that’s NOT the wheel bearings (at least I don’t think this is the problem because I have already greased and inspected the bearings/races/spindles and everything is ok) It only happens when going about 5-10 mph and above. Any...
