Eaton Detroit Truetrac Differentials 913A481

As long as your current diff is a 10 bolt. & your axles are 30 spline. I replaced my 28 spline axles w/ Moser's 30 spline.

SCOTT from SC answered on July 20, 2016

Depends on what your spline count is if the spline count is 30 then yes

ANTHONY from GA answered on July 20, 2016

Yes it will work fine just make sure brakes are adjusted the Same on both sides

JEFF from LA answered on September 02, 2016

If you have 30 spline axles and 8 5/8.6 ring gear it should fit

GERALD from PA answered on July 20, 2016

yes this will work well go for it.

EDWARD from PA answered on July 20, 2016

I would think yes. I used it for a 99z71 with 373 gears and love it. Gear ratio or rear drum brakes don't matter,get a bearing and shim kit and your good to go.

GREGORY from TN answered on July 22, 2016

Yes

TRACY from LA answered on July 20, 2016

yes it should work aslong its a 10 bolt with 30 spline axles.

JOSEPH from OK answered on July 20, 2016

Yes, if you have an 8.5 carrier with 30 sline axels.

CHRIS from FL answered on July 20, 2016

As long as your rear end is 8.5/8.6 it shouldn't matter on gear ratio

STEPHANIE from TX answered on July 20, 2016

Yes this will work in your axle however I would recommend changing your gear as well just upgrade to a new gear same ratio

PATRICIA B from DE answered on July 26, 2016

Depends on how many bolts are on your diff cover. 10 bolts will be 8.5/8.6" and 14 bolts will be 9.5".

KYLE from OK answered on July 20, 2016

Yes, If you were to click on the "Find out if this fits your application" window on the right it lets you know the applications that it fits. 8.5" and 8.6" are nominal and the earlier ones were 28 spline while later (like yours) is 30 spline as long as it is the original rear axle assy.

JAMES from WI answered on November 20, 2017

It should fit it if it's a 10 bolt rear end.

TYLER from UT answered on November 21, 2017

96 is a 10 bolt 8.5 with a 30 spline axles with c clips. Yes it work.

JOSEPH S from OK answered on November 19, 2017

Yes

BRANDON from TX answered on November 20, 2017

No

ROBERT from PA answered on November 18, 2017

May not. GM produced two type of rear ends for their trucks during our years. Your serial number can idenyify the type of rear end you have. Wont fit in any GM stock 4x4 front end.

WILLIAM from OH answered on November 22, 2017

Yes it should

KYLE from NV answered on November 19, 2017

I would think so, my rear end is out of a 95

AARON from TX answered on November 25, 2017

Yes it will.You will need the special diff. bearings lm102949 and lm102911 race which can be hard to find locally.

JEFF from IN answered on November 27, 2017

Yes it will

REX from TX answered on November 30, 2017

Yes this will fit a 1996 Tahoe with with an 8.5 10 bolt cover rear axle.
Your a little light on info to answer the question , but I believe the Tahoe was only available as a 1/2 ton ( 1500 series ) truck.
The 1/2 tons only used 2 rear ends in 1996.
Most common was the 8.5 inch ring gear 10 bolt cover axle.
There was the option of a 9.5 axle witch had a 14 bolt cover.
The two axles are easy to tell apart by simply counting the number of cover bolts.
A lot of people ask questions about the 10 bolt's because there are a few factory variations of the 8.5 ( and 8.6 ) over the years.
With the 1996 version there should be no surprises it will be a 30 spline axle shaft and the part number you asked about is correct.
In earlier years you would have to check the spline count of the axle shaft to make sure this is the correct unit. ( not a 28 spline axle).
The carrier bearings will not interchange from your old carrier. There is a booklet with all the info you need for the correct part numbers included with the Posi.
I'm sure the tech people can come up with those numbers for you as well.
This carrier will not fit a 2.42 ring and pinion gear set, witch again probably isn't a 1996 option anyways.

SCOTT from MI answered on November 28, 2017

The carrier bearings are bigger factory size is 2.8 the ones required are 3.062 because this carrier is bigger and thicker

JUSTIN from LA answered on July 04, 2017

yes you can reuse the bearings

RONDLE from SC answered on July 05, 2017

You can't use the factory bearings. You have to buy the bigger bearings to fit the bigger carrier.

TYLER from UT answered on July 05, 2017

yes, the stock bearing size is what I used, though I did buy new bearings.

JOSEPH from MI answered on July 05, 2017

If the Bearings can be removed without damaging them & you feel confident that you can measure the old & New Hemispheres Acuratly, Then Sure, use them, But if Not, Fit new Bearings, Because if you don't set the Bearing preload correctly you risk Brinelling ( Damaging the rollers & Cups) of the bearings.

DAVID from Australia answered on July 10, 2017

You can, but you shouldn't. Cheap insurance. And saving yourself the time and possibilities of damaging the old bearings. You only NEED to replace the two carrier bearings.

JUSTIN from AZ answered on July 03, 2017

You will need to verify that your bearings would even work with this unit, it typically requires different bearings. Even if you can use them I would put new bearings in as you could damage them swapping from one to the other.

MICHAEL from IN answered on July 04, 2017

YES YOU CAN JUST MAKE SHURE THE CALIBRATION SPACE ITS THE SAME AS YOUR WARE INSTALING THE ORIGINAL ONE

JUAN from FL answered on July 12, 2017

If I recall the bearings are different. Bearings are cheap insurance for a well built rearend so replace anyway to prevent having to break down again. Good luck!

DUSTIN from TX answered on July 06, 2017

93 chevy should be a 10 bolt 30 spline axles 8.5 style as factory. Count your bolts on your cover should be 10. If it is a 10 bolt it work.

JOSEPH S from OK answered on December 20, 2017

It worked for my 92. Should be the same

DUSTIN from TX answered on December 24, 2017

It should work with the right bearing set and if you have 30 spline axles

DUSTIN from OK answered on December 06, 2017

A std 1/2 ton rear end in this vehicle is the 10 bolt ( cover ) 8.5 inch ring gear . Most people refer to it as an 8.5 10- bolt.
The Z-71 model's and what the higher GVW models usally 6 lug instead of 5 lug can have a 9.5 14 bolt cover rear as well, so on that year there are only a couple options both can be figured by the amount of rear cover bolts though.

SCOTT from MI answered on December 26, 2017

You should have a gm corporate 8.5, I also have a 93 caprice wagon with the 8.5 the 913A481 will work just make sure you have 30 spline axles if not you'll either have to grab the 28 spline version or order some 30 spline axles

RAHEEN from NC answered on January 04, 2018

Yes it will work fine with the proper bearings , I had this installed in my 1992 GMC Yukon and love it .

HAROLD from PA answered on December 28, 2017

MOST 93 1500 TRUCKS HAVE 8.5 10 BOLT REAR.SOME HAVE 9.5 14BOLT.ASSUMING THE COVER IS ROUND-8.5.yOU WILL ALSO NEED DIFF. BEARINGS AND RACES LM102949 AND LM102911 TO COMPLETE THE JOB.GET THEM FROM SUMMIT ALSO AS THEY ARE NOT A COMMON BEARING YOU CAN GET LOCALLY.

JEFF from IN answered on December 27, 2017

Yes it will fit. As long as your truck has the original axle/differential.
