Okay I looked over the rear gear section that gave codes went down the street to see what gears the blazer I want parts of of had and this was typed in the dash H04 - 4.11 rear Rat.
What the fock does that mean did I just miss somethin' on the stiky or what???

I hope you're talking about an S-10 Blazer. Not sure what you're confused about, check down toward the bottom of this page.

it is an s-10 blazer and I couldn't find 4.11 gears on the sticky I wasn't sure if I was looking at something wrong or if they did send out a few with 4.11 along with 4.10

and I didn't see the code for limited slip. I might of missed it but I thought all or almost all 4wd's had limited rear ends that was the main reason I was looking at this rear end was to get both wheels spinning off the line

you dont want factory limited slip.....its better in snow than a one-tire-frier but on hard pavement it will bang in and out so fast it will wish you had a one wheel wonder again..... the newer limited slips are alot better....... pluss the older ones were weak and tended to blow apart.... mine hasn't though....fortunatly

H04 is the code for the 4.11's used in the old t- trucks and utilities. that's just what they used in them before the 4.10 was decided the preferred stronger gear.

G80 is the code for posi's i believe. as far as i know, ZR2's and ZQ8's come stock with a posi. a normal 4x4, that was probably an option. and i think 4.11's are ford gears.

 

[MKR]

ZQ8's did not come standard with the locking differential and early ZR2's didn't either. as for the 4.11's, they were actually used. i believe it was a 37/9 count on the gear which was replaced by the stronger 4.10 ratio later with 41/10.

 

[MuddyS10]

my 1995 ZR2 had a posi. first year they were made.

 

[MKR]

the locking differential in a 95 ZR2 was optional though. i've actually worked on a couple that didn't have that option. pretty useless of an off-road package to not have it standard. i believe it was 98 or 99 when it became standard/required.

 

[MuddyS10]

yeah, that is pretty stupid, but the 2004 2wd ZR2 models are worse...

 

[MKR]

2wd ZR2, never heard of it.

 

[MuddyS10]

i think its an option for the 2003 ZR2s. just like the Ranger FX4 2wd model.
