Yet another sierra diff question
Breaker - 19/2/10 at 04:22 PM

I'm currently looking for a sierra 3.62 diff + driveshaft + disc brakes.


VIN
VIN


I already know you can see at postion 10 of the VIN plate; "U" means a 3.62 diff + you will have disc brakes if the car has ABS.

So my question is: can you see on the VIN plate the diff will have bolt on or push in drive shafts ? And which one is "better" ?

Later on I might install a Quaife LSD unit, so should I have bolt on or push in driveshafts ?

You cant tell from looking at the VIN plate but it's easy to see if you look under the car at the diff.
Quaffe will fit either but bolt on LOBRO's are easier to find

if its got rear disc's it'll have bolt-on shafts

but a quick look under the back will tell you for sure...

if your not sure what you looking for - this is one of mine with bolt-on shafts:

the bolt-on bit is that black oily bit - in real life its easy to see the 6 bolts
