lots of slop. spinning the axles it sounds like playing cards in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. catches here and there. pics of carnage possibly if i feel like taking it apart before trashing it. anyone have a 8.5 outta a zq8/extreme? that is all. i find it amusing that i finally destroyed the rear axle. hahaha. now all thats left in the drivetrain is for my driveshaft to snap.:mamoru: ---

I worked as a Quality Rep for AAM. They supplied the axle for the S10s. Sounds to me like you snapped an axle shaft. Not a real hard thing to repair and you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a replacement shaft as the 8.5 was standard on all full size GM pickups, and was used on the S10 Extremes. ---
