Watsup avalanche rollers.i've owned an 02 z71 for about a year now and suddenly i discovered my 2nd rear pinion bearing making the same damn noise.After the 1st one went.I simply replaced the whole rear end with a used one.does anyone else have this problem?
 
The GT5 RPO code you mentioned in your post in another thread would indicate the 4:10 gear ratio.

Any time I have had a rear end go out I have always had them rebuilt and not just replaced with a used one.

If I did have to use a used one for some reason, I would have had that one rebuilt before I had it installed in the truck.

Same for front diffs, transmissions and transfer cases.

I've never had a rebuilt rear end fail a second time.

I hope you have better luck on your next go around.

And welcome to the site!
