I understand, but these are the types you need and the part numbers are furnished.


Now you could also do axle swaps and that would make it cheaper and easier.

Not saying they are wrong, but I did my homework.


I have been there and in my opinion a differential is VERY hard to build. You have to have the equipment, time, and intuition.

I haven't been set in the wrong direction, however with differential work you usually have to supply your axle numbers stamped into your tabs. There is no way to FULLY correct your model of axle unless you use these numbers. I would call and deal with www.sixstates.com

ok... thanks hydra... i was just wondering... you are more experienced... i like justdifferentials because thier actually a local company here in washington and ive had good success dealing with them... my dad and i have the ability to change these parts ourselves... this probably wont happen for a long time... but just for my general knowledge where are the axle numbers? i didn't mean to infer you were set in the wrong direction... i ask a lot of questions just to broaden my scope of knowledge... if that makes any sense...

The axle numbers should be on the metal tags attached to a cover bolt.

1 tag states the gear ratio and a larger one states the number. Now they also put numbers in the housing. Look at the side of the cover on the housing where the metal wings meet the tube for added support. Also the front should be on the tag on a cover bolt. Now it depends on the manufacture, so all of these may not apply. Most of what I've seen is on the actual tags.

I have the 3.92's and love them. I have, but really shouldn't have but didn't have a 3/4ton available, pulled 9000+ lbs without a problem. Easily pulled a 6500lbs travel trailer at 65mph through western ND, which is nothing but hills, and got 9 mpg. Only got 8mpg pulling a bobcat skidsteer in the same area doing 70mph.
