Okies guys! My hand was forced when my diff cracked sometime tuesday night last week (i swear it cracked on the final turn onto my driveway).. it dumped oil all over the garage floor and boy did it reeekk!! it still reeks! need to go over it with degreaser again.. and again... and probably again!
Anyways, had the car towed to my mechanic (ProConcept) and Jeff from SSS Automotive (whom i'd already been speaking to about my diff issue) was nice enough to send someone out to measure up my car while it was there! Such a sweetie!! we found that the stock 33 diff plus drivetrains were what was need to replace the alsd diff. You will also need to get the flanges and blots cause it doesn't fit with the alsd ones. Only issue is with ABS! I was wrong in thinking it would still work. The diff i got did have abs sensors on it, but when it was all hooked up, the light is still on and no abs. Oh wells! I would have thought the computer that controls both would be able to differentiate between the two, but maybe not! My mechanic is still looking into it though!!
