How To Fix Gmc Sonoma 4×4, Chevy Blazer, S10, Jimmy, Olds Bravada, 4×4 Grinding Clicking Noise

This video is of a 1998 GMC Sonoma that was grinding, and clicking whenever I engaged the 4×4. I found out that the actuator vacuum switch was bad, and replaced it. However, it was to late, the gears were fried in the differential. This video will show you step-by-step how to remove and replace the gears. I found a gear repair kit on eBay part# (Differential Carrier Gear Kit 600-561). This kit does not include the sleeve. I found it at GM Parts East Part (You’ll have to type in your make and model).

NOTE: Sorry if the music isn’t to your liking. Youtube removed the music I originally had attatched to this video.

Thanks again, for watching.

May be a dumb question but what kind of sealant/gasket glue did you use?

I am very sorry for the delayed response. I have been working on a short documentary for the last month. Please look at the description box. I list every part and where to find them at. Thank you.

This is a great video. I have just made one explaining how to ditch the electric shift motor on the transfer case on my 99 Blazer. Its called (Fix GM electric 4×4 permanently & CHEAP) It will show you a dirt simple way to save $hundreds$ of $dollars$ on shifting you transfer case into and out of its ranges. Its free information and I want all the people like me who have been stranded because of this overly complicated GM Junktronic. Not that the vehicle is junk but the electric shift is. Anyway hopefully my idea will save people thousands of dollars and for most make their 4×4 totally dependable.

Verry helpful video man, good job.

This was very helpful. I am a mechanic, but never worked on this system before. My problem is the small shaft is not moving (just a little). From watching your video I will pull her down & check what the problem might be. My Blazer is a 1983 model & I am living in the Philippines, so you see parts may be a problem. I figured this S10 blazer belonged to the military or someone in the military brought it over & thru the years got out in the public. Thanks for your time!
