It's alive!!! I found my issue I think it's pretty obvious lol! It runs I just have to pop the fuel lines off the spider because I missed the yellow o-ring on one of them and couldn't figure out why it was pouring fuel on the ground lol! Picked everything up went and picked up the kid and hit the forums when I got home and found my answer in a couple minutes so this weekend I'll straighten it out.

I always wondered why they were called spiders on the V6.

Well I bought more crap I didn't really need lol! I picked this up today and not sure if I will run it or sell it to my buddy that is looking for one. Its a AAM 10.5 which is essentially the same as a 14 bolt only with disk brakes from the factory from what I have gathered online. Its out of a 2012 ¾ ton burban that was a Government vehicle outfitted with full armor and such but for some reason it is now being crushed. The shop had three trucks there all the same all with less than 100 miles on them! This particular axle has a whopping 23 miles on it!! It is complete end to end and all lines and hoses were properly disconnected rather that cut. I picked it up for a measly $250!!!!! I couldn't say no to that even if I don't use it and just sell it for a small profit. After I handed him the money I said I have to go get my truck I'll be back and he was like nah I'll load it up and bring it to you no worries so I even got the damn thing delivered to my door.

Nice and new looking!

Very dusty but no wear on the rotors

Then I opened it up after I had it in the back of one of my work trucks to find this

Its got 4.10s and a G80 which some don't care for but I never had any issue with the one in my Blazer and this one is brand new so it should be good for a while and its certainly better than the open rear I have now.

Would love to know why. Looks like it just sat somewhere and got dirty & surface rust.

I would love to know why they aren't using them, but the Government probably doesn't want anyone to get their hands on a fully armored vehicle due to the fact that it could possibly get into the wrong hands.
