philiow313 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 my old diff was VERY noisy. i picked up a used R200 with carrier from z_boi (thanks canton!) for $60. much cheaper than the $350 i was going to spend for a rebuilt one! anyways. swap took less than 2 hours and it works sooooo well. i dont know yet if the gear ratio is the same or not, we couldnt find it printed on the gears. no noise, and very smooth operation. thought it was locked up before we installed it, too. couldnt turn the driveshaft side by hand. we grabbed a pair of large channel locks and it broke loose. must have been a bit of rust preventing it from turning. im running 75w90 gear oil right now, ill change it in a few hundred miles to make sure i get any leftover gunk out of the housing. now for more driving!

Guest huskers Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 What diff did you have prior? Another r200 or a r180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
