You've either got a govlock or open diff. Posi spins same direction, the axles are held together at all times.

If you spin the tire hard/fast (one quick motion) by hand you can sometimes get a gov-lock to lock. You'll know.

2.73 gears were one that GM used, but I doubt in 14 bolts. If it's open, you need two rotations to get the correct ratio.

For all this effort you'd already know the ratio and gov-lock or no authoratatively, as well as their conditon, and that they have good fluid, if you pop the covers.

i tried spinning them both hard but never got anything...if you spin one slow then the other doesnt move....spin hard the other one just moves in reverse it looks like...

I got it wrong the way I told you you need to spin the tire two revolutions.

i looked up the codes and it said 3.73(dup with 5x1)...what the hell does that mean...

 

[twoslo4five0]

and it says axle posi traction,limited slip...

 

[gmc4cw]

3.73 ratio is fairly common in a 14 bolt.

i havent decided weater 456 or 410 would be better for the highway with a turbo 400...

only jack up one wheel, not both.
