why wont these parts fit my rear end?
I have an 87 IROC. The pumpkin says GM 22522678 which is the standard 7.5 10bolt.
I ordered axles, ring and pinion and a posi diff from Summit using their tech dept. All these parts are for 10 bolt 7.5 yet none of them work. My car is currently down and I need it driveable. Whats up with this rear end? I looked on the passenger side tube for a stamp or a code and nothing! My car is clean, not rusty or filthy. Shouldn't there be a code on the axle tube??

and you need to be specific on what the problem is, a simple "it doesnt fit" isnt enough info, basically your saying your outting a square peg in a round hole, thats what i get from it, PICTURES DO HELP if you have any

Are you simply relaying what a mechanic is telling you?

Re: why wont these parts fit my rear end?
If everything is still original then you have a 9 bolt, not a 10 bolt. The 1987 5.7L TPI came with a 9 bolt and was never offered the 10 bolt.
How many bolts are on the rear cover? Like everyone else is saying, we need pictures.
