Will a 1996 chevy blazer rear end bolt up to a 2000 chevy blazer ? Also, the 1996 has drum brakes and the 2000 has disc. Can I put the rotors and disc brakes on the 1996 rear end ? Can I use the 2000 drive shaft for the 1996 rear end ? Thank you for any help as I am broke down :(
Measure the lenth of both rear ends. see iss all hardware will bolt up without fabrication. if its the same size it will work. But im afraid being a 4 wheel drive it will be geared lower then a regular pick up/ Drive shaft may work but if not it would have to be shortened or lenghthebed. alot of work. Brakes you could leave the non drum breaks on better stopping power. I honestly believe you would be better off just going to a scrap yard and find one very easy to remove and replave few hour job.

first the flashing light means that it is trying to go into 4wd. as far as i know there is no adjustment. The shift motor may be bad, If the transfer case is shifting it could be the silinod in the front differantal.

The first thing I would look at is the shift rod on the transfer case. If I remember correctly, it is on the drivers side and is a rod aboutsix inches long and has two ends that basically pop into rubber gromets. If that rod is bent in any way, or has come loose of the gromets, it will not shift into or out of the four wheel drive. If yours has electronic four wheel drive, the electric acutator could be out or going out. you should be able to remove the rod and simply move the switch by hand on the transfer case. It will get you out of 4 wheel drive until you have the ime to diagnose the electronics at least. It has happened to both my 1994 and 1999 S-10 blazers.

Al ot of it depends on the type of driving you do. If you are driving primarily on paved roads, in town or highway driving, you can go 50K or more before replacing. If the differential is a limited slip, I would recommend no longer than 50K because of the clutch pack conditioners breaking down in the oil.
If you are an off road user, I would change the oil anytime the differential was under water or in mud and if you are driving primarily on dust dirt roads dirt roads, change it every 25 to 30K.
If you tow a trailer, keep the changes for both limited slip and conventional differentials to the 30K range.
You will keep the components happy and failure free. Just remember that water and dirt are the enemy.
Good luck, hope this answers your question and is only my opinion.
If you want specific manufacturers recommendations, you can find them in your owners manual.

You cannot pull the front differential and drive the vehicle. The wheel bearings are tied into the front axle, and won't properly lubricate if not installed.
SOURCE: where do I find the gear ratio for the rear diff
Lower down this page is a chart with RPO codes, which can potentially be found inside the glove box...
The codes pertain to the transfer case, the front differential, and the rear differential, so it may take a bit of snooping.

However, if you were merely looking for the driving-gear-ratios, here's a page containing that kind of information for a 2000 4wd ls blazer:
