I need an exploded view of a 1996 GMC Jimmy Differential

SOUNDS LIKE THE SHIFT ENCODER MOTOR ON THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL

1997 GMC jimmy 2wd 4.3l sfi 6cyl/Repair Guide ) Type this in your search box and search.Open up first site and then go to chassis electrical, click on lighting,scrool down to headlights,open it.

bad cv on passenger axel shaft if it has IFS if it has solid axle check the axle joint

According to all the parts manuals it should be a straight swap. All the parts for that time span interchange

to remove the rear axle you will need to put the rear of the jimmy on jack stands off the ground and remove the wheels

then remove the rear drums or if you have disc brakes the caliper and rotor

next you will need to remove the rear differential cover

once you have removed the rear differential cover you will need to rotate the differential by just turning the rear axle to gain access to the lockbolt

using an 8 mm socket you should be able to fairly easily remove the lock bolt

once you have removed the lock bolt you will need to push the axle in from the side that the wheel gets mouted to and then in the rear differential remove the locking 'c' clip

once the locking 'c' clip is removed you should be able to pull the axle right out

installation is the reverse of the removal

keep in mind that after romoving the lock bolt you must make sure not to rotat the axle if you do you will mess up the allignment with the differential and axle and you will spend loads of time trying to re-allign it again

hope this helps

On the Differential look at the rear of the Differential near the top and you will see a plug. You remove the plug and check the level by putting your finger into the hole. If the fluid touches the bottom of your finger it is at the proper level. If not, add fluid until it does.

On a 1996 GMC Jimmy 4 wheel drive
Why is it reluctant to coming out of 4 wheel drive? Switch must be working when activated, you can hear it clicking but it won't release into 2 wheel drive, even when backing up and turning the wheels!

You will have to remove the differential cover on the rear end, in the center of the gear cluster you'll have to rotate your axle until it exposes the ends of the axle shafts, push in the axles as far as you can from the brake pad assembly area, then, there this a C clips that slips into a groove on the end of the axle, you'll have to reove the C clip to pull out the axle.
