Swapping 3.91 Diff Out For 3.45??? Direct Swap?
I've got a 2014 1LE. I'm looking to swap my 3.91 gears down to 3.45s. I've got a local guy with a 2011 SS that wants to trade diffs. Do the chunks swap out directly? Or is my 1LE chunk different than the 2011 3.45?
Thanks! |

1LE and SS have different half shafts I believe. I don't know what part of them is different, but I am sure there different part numbers. Here are two threads I found, If I am not mistaken, I just scanned them, what you are doing will work.

I know others are thinking it, and I do not mean this is any derogatory way, but what is your reasoning to do this? I admit I am curious.

It's a straight swap, I swapped my 3.45s for 3.91s. You'll have to recalibrate your speedo though.

If OP is going with a turbo setup, it could make sense.
If he was local, you're damn right I'd swap with him.

The axles the will work they have the same spline count. I installed a set of 3.91s gears in my 2010 SS along with a set of 1LE axles the difference is the size of the CV joint. If you already have a 1LE its not a problem but when going to SS you have to have a special washer to install the 1LE axles if I remember correctly but again straight out swap the new owner will love the 3.91s
