2005 Chevy Tahoe Drivetrain and Axle Upgrade - Rosco P. Drivetrain - Four Wheeler Network
Blowing apart a perfectly good, running, and driving rig with plans to make that rig a lot better can start to seem like a bad idea after the truck has been on jackstands for weeks (if not months). Getting it running and driving was important for our morale, but also to establish what worked and what didn’t. Our educated guestimate of spring rates (with help from Rob Bonney Fabrication) seems to be close to being on point. The suspension works as planned but still needs a bit of tweaking made possible with the help of a few parts from Synergy Manufacturing. We’ll tackle that with help from Rob Bonney Fabrication and Sam’s Offroad. With driveshafts and a slip yoke-eliminator for our NP241C from Tom Wood’s Custom Drive Shafts, we got that GM power to the axles and wheels. Last, we get the NP241C shifting with parts from JB Custom Fabrication. The SUV is driving, but we still want to build a front bumper and rock sliders, add a winch, regear the axles, and add lockers and maybe a rear sway bar. After talking to Tom Wood’s Custom Drive Shafts we were ready to tear back into the aluminum box. That’s because we didn’t realize that Tom Wood’s offers a slip-yoke eliminator kit for.
