Will a rear end out of a Chevrolet s10 Blazer 4x4 fit a s10 pickup 4x4 if it is the same gear? The gear ratio is 3:42 will a rear end out of a Chevrolet s10 Blazer 4x4 fit a s10 pickup 4x4 if it is the same gear?

Hello,

Yes, they will fit as long they are both 4WD or both 2WD.

I have attached the rear differential replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
