05' z51 c6 rear diff
From what I understand the 05 c6 diff shares the same diff as the c5. Is this true?
Will the c6 zo6 output shafts swap right into into the 05' diff?
Dealer swapped out the left rear axle seal. 2 days later it started leaking again. Now they want to tear into the rear end and r&r the diff as they think something is worn and shredding the seal. But of course they weren't sure. I'm guessing the bearings are worn. But I haven't had a chance to look, as they have it and they called me late. Anyways, while they're in there, I was gonna have em pop in the z06 output shafts to help strengthen it.

Z06 output shafts will fit. If you are thinking of abusing it any further, it may be in your best interest to upgrade to an 06+ diff.
I have a brand new Z06 shaft and gear with retainer ring if you need one. Just got them in the mail today, won't be needing them.
Also, if you pick up another diff, 09+ diffs have Z06 output shafts, diff clutches, and pinion carrier/bearings already in them.

I considered it, till I discovered the swap is nearly $4k for the parts. At that cost ill just blow this unit up and buy another over and over! 😂😂😂
I don't drag or have hard launches. So the diff lives a decent life with me

care to elaborate? i have an '05 manual and have wondered when it is going to blow up...been looking into installing a C5 z06 differential...and have heard you need a mounting plate to bolt it to the C6 cradle...is that what you are talking about that you fabricate?

Works like a charm. I can vouch for it. Thanks Norm!

That is correct.. It consists of 2 brackets and an isolater that allow you to bolt it into the c6 cradle with no welding or drilling required. You do however need to grind some of the lower fins off the diff regardless of how you adapt it. Other than that it is a bolt in package.

very good...i got you saved up for when im ready...BTW what is it made out of, do you include all parts for installation and what's the cost.?
other than the differential, anything else that needs to be purchased? does everything else bolts up to the z differential?
