I'm not hatin'. I said I didn't WANT to do it, just figured I'd save others about $50.

 

That one doesn't have the lip to sit in the snap ring groove, unless I am missing something.

 

Shaft collars don't have the lip the t-case save does, that goes into the groove for the snap ring. T-case saver is still a safer bet here.... and when it comes to my 900+ dollar t-case..... and extra 20 or 30 bucks or so isn't gonna even make me bat an eye.

 

I don't understand why it won't work on a 3 bolt tailhousing, doesn't look like the 4 bolt has any more room than mine Because of this I ended up tack welding my snap ring on but didn't use enough heat and lost it again, the second time I turned up the heat and burned it in better and it's been holding for almost a year now.

 

You should buy one and try it, if it doesn't fit you can always sell it here on DF.

As far as the $5.17 collar without the lip to go in the groove goes, all I have to say is , hahahaha.
