99 Silverado Axle upgrade 14 bolt semi float c clip eliminator install with Got Torque Kit

For some time I have been looking for a c clip eliminator kit for my 14 bolt semi float axle. None were to be found until Lawrence Tolman told me about Got Torque Differential. This company out of Texas has the only kit out there. In this video I install their product and discuss a few tips and tricks to help anyone considering this install. This kit looks to be very well made. It utilizes roller taper bearings instead of just roller bearings. I have seen a lot c clip eliminator kits that are junk and don't last. I'm optimistic this wont be the case with this kit. This isn't just a block kit. This includes new Dutchman axles too. If your making big power out of your stock gm rear end its time to consider getting rid of your c clips.

That battery placement is gorgeous ide take your idea if I was only using my truck for racing but I daily it aswel😂

[@Brainstangs]

glad you like it

[@sgtretarthurpegues7402]

Do you think it overkill to have the eliminators c clip for a daily driver? And are you using a 4l60e? Thanks for the video it was very informative I didn't understand how the c clip eliminator worked until I seen your video. Can not wait for future video.

Wonder if by that factory flange being welded on out of square to the face, will wear your outer bearing prematurely

[@colejohnson3705]

No. The bearing is in the axle tube. The crooked flange makes the brake caliper and parking brake shoes out of alignment.

Have you done any work on youre CV axles?

I have a question, I'm looking at a 14 bolt out of a 2010 silverado 1500. It is a 9.5 and 6 lug but came out of a 4x4 truck. Is their a difference in length between 2wd and 4x4. The truck it would be going in is a 02 silverado 2wd 1500. Would this work?

[@southsidediy]

In the GMT400 trucks, the 14 bolts in the 2wd trucks are narrower than the ones in the 4x4 trucks. I am not sure about the 2010 models.

[@ratcamaro]

How come you were still running C-clip axles in a truck built up like that?

[@Brainstangs]

Still never broke. Being 4x4 your not hitting the rear axle with all the load. It is shared. That’s one thing going for it. The other is they are 33 spline stock compared to the 10 bolt 30 spline. Fact is if my track hadn’t demanded it I would still be on stock axles.

@@Brainstangs You're not racing at an NHRA sanctioned track? From NHRA rulebook: Aftermarket axles and axle-retention device (C-Clip Eliminator) mandatory on any car running 10.99 (*6.99) or quicker or any car with locked differential.

​​@@Brainstangs I have a 2007 Classic Silverado 1500 (GMT800 not 900), I'm looking for a 14 Bolt SF 9.5 with factory Rear dual piston caliper brakes, looking to eliminate the drum 8.625 rear. Know where I can start to get a parts list together? This has Leafs out back.

[@masfabz]

What rear bumper is that?

[@montysoto8393]

it’s called a roll pan
