How To Replace a Rear End Differential (Chevy Suburban) #differential #rearend #chevy #GM

In this video, I wanted to give you guys a step by step tutorial on how to remove and replace the Rear End Differential on a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. I definitely feel bougie for having a lift and an extra man to help lol. There have been many times where I've had to replace rear end differentials in my front yard all by myself. So yes, it can be done at home in your driveway, but you'll have to get a little creative if you don't have some of the equipment that I use in the video. It can be done.

Anyway, I'd rate this job a 7 out of 10 (10 being the hardest). Simple tools are needed, and I mention them throughout the video as I go along. I try to cover as many of the fine details as I can during both the removal and installation processes.

Don't forget Differential Fluid. Call up to Auto Zone or your favorite parts store and get the correct kind or you can always use good ole Google to find this out as well.

As Always, thanks for watching and I hope this video helps. If it does, Don't be shy! Hit that like button and consider subscribing for more automotive content!

Hands down, the best video there is on this topic.
Removed and replaced the rear end on my 04 Avalanche in my driveway last weekend and it went perfectly because of this video. Didn't have to bleed brakes or compress springs.
Thanks! You guys rock!!

A buddy is helping me change my rear in my 2002Chevy Suburban today. I started watching your video a few days ago. Just wanted to say thank you. it's been very helpful. And thanks for keeping it real. Getting the screwdriver stuck is exactly something I would do. LOL. Wish me luck. We are doing it in his driveway.

Great video Alex. You can use a box end wrench to slip over the tabs, usually 13mm to make it easier to get those parking brake cables off.

A gas line removal tool will made the brake lines easier

The vehicle you pull the unit from has a RPO code list in the glove box that tells you everything for that vehicle.

I need a new rear end on my 2004 Tahoe but I’m thinking about rebuilding it. Would it be easier to rebuild or just by a new one?

For removing the parking brake cables from the frame bracket maybe a fuel filter tool might help

I use a hose clamp tool . It’s round and gets around the entire clip . Still have to work it but it’s pretty quick
