Re: is it the same

The A/C is the same, except for the hose that goes over the top of the turbo; search for it, the hose is rare, and has a SyTy specific bend. The front diff is not the same as a blazer. The propshaft is not the same as a blazer. The CV shafts are the same as a blazer.

does any one have pic of the front dif on there truck?

Re: is it the same

the front diff matchs a bravada and an awd astro right? and the one half shaft is awd specific?

Re: is it the same

yeah, the s-10 AWD platform front diffs work. I didn't think they were AWD specific for the halfshafts. I just looked at NAPA's website, and they list something like a 949000 halfshaft for both left and right, AWD and 4WD.

There is no reason you can't use a front diff from a regular 4x4 S10.. The only difference is that it will have a coupler on the passengers side that is used to engage/disengage 4x4. If you leave this on you will have regular AWD operation as long as you leave that coupler in the engaged position.. For some tire roasting fun just disengage it... I'm pretty sure that Waller ran this setup for a while..

Re: is it the same

Sy/Ty front differential uses flange connections whereas a 4x4 does not. It may be possible to convert a 4X4 axle to the flange set up.(provided you have the flanges)

As for the axles, the inner CV joint is a "tri-pot" design and the outer CV joint is a "Rzeppa" design. I am not sure if the 4X4 has the same?

You can convert them..
