That's a good question. I believe there's an initial cost AND a yearly fee.

That said...I'm fairly certain that only an authorized GM dealer can purchase the software. I found a copy on the Internet a while back and pulled it down...not the most 'legal' of acquisitions, but neither was half of my mp3 collection.

HELL YEAH FINALLY GOT IT OUT!!! but..... it looks like the spline kinda damaged looks like it got jammed and caused a little indent and the retaining clip looks broke but might not be, should it look like a "u" clip than a "c" clip, but overall I am happy I dont think that little bit of damage will do anything since its the part where the clip goes and it effected maybe 6 of the splines on the shaft portion not the tip. I have to charge my camera and I will post some pics. Thanks agian for everyones help especially Jarek M. since he got like a million emails from me concerning this part. Now for the control arms look forward for more threads for help or emails from me.

Oh one more thing there was NO sealant on the diff when I split it I wonder why that is. The only reason why I was taking it apart was to fix a small leak on the diff. Is that normal? Also what is the best sealant to use for a sealant cause I have RTV Black but I have heard not to use that cause the synthenic oil will eat it up.

I use the red hi temp one, but the black one is good to.

Hi it is a c" clip if your looks like a u" buy 2 new ones and Differential Carrier Assembly Case Mating Surfaces Sealant GM P/N 1052942 or any good RTV but make sure you read the directions on how long to let it sit before you put the halfs together.

Use a small file and clean any burrs around the c-clip grove and on any splines. This will make it easier to remove again if needed. Use anaroebic sealer on the case halves not sure if that is the part number twr has cause i dont know the part number off hand. If yu use silicone it will push out and eventually leak

Hi Humtech, that gm part # is anaroebic sealer, that is what gm uses on the case halfs in the USA, canda has a different part# but same sh-t.
