So is this a bolt in swap or what am I getting into here? Also iv been told my front driveline is not suppose to spin with Dana 30 cad any help on this subject thanks
Depends... can you clarify what you're doing?
A CAD Dana 30 is already High Pinion.
Are you swapping in a full non-CAD HP 30? Easy... unbolt yours, bolt in the newer one. Done.
Are you removing the CAD feature from yours, replacing the passenger side shaft with a 1 piece shaft? A bit more involved, but still doable.
Well my driveline on cad axle moves when I'm in 2wd
? So what does this mean?
most likely that your vac disco/CAD is stuck in the on position.
So if I throw in a hp 30 won't loose mpg or anything like that?
not noticeably.
you'll probably want to refurbish the front driveshaft while you have it out.
it will be fine for a long time after that.
But if going through that effort already, why not just replace the two piece shaft with a single shaft and a new seal in the diff housing? Just as much work in my mind. And you get to inspect your gears while you have the diff cover off.

Not so straight forward as knuckles will change. Cad should have a 2 piece knuckle so get the calipers from the non cad knuckle as well. AFAIK
