Auto Parts: 4wd to 2wd conversion, pep boys, repair vehicles

Question
I have an 01 Tahoe and 04 Avalanche I bought on a 3 year tour in AK.  I am
now in VA and gas is outrageous and 4wd is unnecessary.  If I removed my
front differential and anything I can related to the front half shafts what's the
worst that could happen?  I can't find any kind of kit for this modification so I
am assuming it is not possible but I want to know.  Also, I don't mind seeing
the 4wd light on my dash.

Answer
Hi Shawn,

Sell it an buy a 2WD if that's what you want. The change-over will boggle your mind and cost as much as a NEW vehicle. Save yourself the headaches and agony.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
