LSXcalade Build Update July 2018
What happens here
The builder presents a new 9.5-inch 14-bolt rear end, sourced from a 2-wheel drive Yukon Denali. This component is highlighted as a direct bolt-in replacement, offering significant strength advantages over the standard 10-bolt rear end typically found in the 4-wheel drive versions of these vehicles. The enhanced strength is crucial for the planned high-horsepower, twin-turbo setup, especially when combined with a transbrake.
Goal: Identify the upgraded heavy-duty rear axle and its benefits.
