07-13 2500 6.0 gasser with 4 channel ABS will have wheel hub sensors on the 10.5ff a long with 1410 pinion yokes
Adam, are the tone rings inside the rotor hat with the parking brakes? I looked at pics of 10.5 and 11.5 axles for those years and did not see obvious tone rings.

I Have an 07 6.0 gasser GMT900 in the drive way and there is no electrical connections on the 10.5

I suspect it's 3 channel and they use output off the transmission.

Ok, did some digging on Rock Auto Using a 2012 2500 with 6.0L RPO Code J95 looks like it has a rear wheel hub with tone ring.

Going on Ebay it looks like it must be from a 2011-14 and 15-19 and I believe it needs that code J95. the flange on the housing has a place for the sensor to bolt onto on the front side of the flange.

It probably falls under cab bed make set-up much like the 1150s do to wether they have 3 or 4 channel ABS
Iirc it's JL4 rpo for stabilitrac

I have seen them weld the holes up and re drill for 6 lug. Not sure which wheels you have but probably need to bore the center to fit the floater hub

Next thing would be figuring out how to keep my 6 lug wheels since that setup would be 8 lug unless you know something I don't.
Buy hubs with 6 hole bolt pattern

I have yet to see anyone make a hub that converts floater 8 lug size down to non-float 6 lug. If those above actually were that, you'd still have to have custom axles made, too.

Thought the goal was to be stronger?
And what's wrong with running FF axles on a 1/2 ton?
Did I miss read looking for something better than the 9.5SF 14B? Those are easy to find as well mainly in the 2500 suburbans

I think you took that the wrong way, Adam.

9.5 would be fine, and using 6 lug axles and 1500 wheels is easy. 10.5, on the other hand, is stronger, yes.....but you're limited to 2500 wheels bc of hub size. There's no 6 lug gm wheels out there that would work on a 10.5, regardless of aftermarket hub or not, bc you can't get a 2500 hub size down to 1500 size. It's just not possible.
I would also never machine a 1500 wheel hub out to fit, either. You wouldn't have any strength left in the wheel.

I did figure out how to run 2500 spindles and hubs on my 1500, though. ?

I'd be running aftermarket wheels..
Called IMS, about their wheel hub.. with the 6-.5.5 they run the hub bore at 4.25"/108mm
Which is a lot bigger than the 78.1/3.07" stock is

Sorry, let me better explain myself. So it is a GMC Denali Yukon XL factory half ton that has an LMM engine and trans dropped in it and everything else is still 1/2 ton. 3.42 gears and it has the 22" black snowflake wheels on it and I love the look and ride it has so I don't honestly want to change any of that. I really don't plan on turning this one up any because it is great just how it is and if I want to have a built one I will do it with a 3/4ton version.

I think we all are just attempting to be bad influences on you more than anything
