what year LS2's used the E40 and which were 24x/58x? I have some software that compares bin files on the code level that will tell us just how different they are.





05-06 SSR and 06 TBSS were E40/24x, 07-08 TBSS LS2 were E67/58x
Corvette LS2 was E40/24x in 2005, went E38/58x in 2006 IIRC.
GTO LS2 was E40/24x (05-06)

ok, I was under the impression the e40 controled both 24x and 58x engines, in that case I don't think analyzing the bin files will be of much use....

Wiped out the rearend in my 97 K1500 w/ 251K miles this morning at 6:30 AM ish... I left it in IN getting repaired and picked up a rental.

So I took the LS4/F40 Fiero out for a spin this evening... I miss driving this car!

Paul....I hope you are OK from the accident.

Wiped out in that it broke?

It sucks paying too much to have something fixed that you can easily do yourself.

Are they going to swap it with a used one?

No accident.

Ran the rear end out of gear lube, running 75 MPH with a dry differential starts making a whining sound. Was slowing down and trying to get to the next exit, but ended up stopping to check the fluid in the transmission - suspecting it for the sound. Once I did that, the ring/pinion gears pretty much welded themselves together and the truck wouldn't move any further. Its at a shop being fixed with all new parts inside the old housing. Will be about $1200 if both axle shafts need replaced.

It was a bad weekend for truck reliability. Friday night heading back to KY I threw the serpentine belt on the interstate, was able to coast up the exit and stop at a gas station before the engine was over 240 degrees. Bad bearing in the idler pulley, put the belt back on but with the bad bearing it tossed it within 30 seconds at idle. It was 7 PM on a Friday, so I had it towed to a parts store ($150), purchased a new pulley and belt. Used the tool kit in the truck to install the pulley and belt and get back on the road. Finally made it home at 1:30 AM Saturday morning.

Then left the house at 3:30 AM Monday heading back up to IL and broke down again about 30 minutes past Indy. Had it towed again to the shop where it is being fixed. Called for a rental at 8 AM, they were 15 miles away and couldn't pick me up till 11:30 AM... Finally made it to work at 1 PM (central).

Now the hassle will be taking the rental back and picking up the truck... I am hoping its done by Thursday/Friday.

I had checked the fluid in the rear end a couple of weeks ago and it was fine, but I am putting 750+ miles per week on the truck and many of those miles pulling a trailer with shop equipment or parts.
