don't quote me but didn't the xr4 2wd have lsd where as the 4x4 had traction control ?
might be wrong though so best check with someone that knows better.

Well the 4X4 that I used as a donor was a 3.62 LSD. To my knowledge I dont believe that Sierra's ever had traction control.

To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Xr4i (2wd) had an open diff
Xr4x4 had LSD at rear

Rear hub carriers are the same only differenc is drum or disc as the disc hubs have caliper mounts.
Early Sierra Thiner shafts push fit drum brakes
Desiel push fit shafts thicker same as lobro
Later bolt on shafts disc brakes 100mm Lobro
Cosworth shafts bolt on 108mm lobro
Most LSD are 3.6 7" on Sierra only found on 4x4
Cosworth 3.64 71/2" Saphire had 7"
Rarer 2.0L DOHC 4x4 had a 7" 3.9 LSD

That's what I needed....
I have the chance of a sierra 4x4 for a diner car....
Bertie.
P.s I have tried to search for a "bolt list" for suspension etc, anyone have one??

Might be because someone above typed diner, rather than donor?

just to make it clear:
some XR4's had an LSD, but only the 4x4's and cossie's had them as standard
the 2wd cossie's had a 3.64 7.5" LSD with 108mm lobro's (bolt-on CV's)
the 2wd cossie's hubs and driveshafts are different aswell (just a little bigger) but they use the same solid disc type brake calipers as the
normal sierra's but spaced out further to use bigger 273mm discs (std. sierra ones are 253mm)
the 4x4 cossie's (inc escorts) had a 3.62 7" LSD with 100mm lobro's the same as V6 4x4's (the 2.0 XR4x4 has a 3.92 LSD)
the 4x4 cossie's diff and driveshafts are the same as the normal 4x4, but the hub carriers have longer mountings for the brake calipers and use
larger diamiter vented discs
the granada/scorpio 24v cossie's had 3.64 7.5" LSD (unless it had traction control) with the smaller 100mm bolt on CV's and the same
brakes as the 4x4 cossie
so you can mix and match to a certain extent

I had two xr4's through my hands, both had 7 1/2" lsd's. One was a C reg 2.8, the other a J 2.9. Still got one of the diffs.
Cheers,

^^^ sounds right to me, some of the xr4's had them, just not all of them... and some had 7" and some had 7.5"
I recon ford just uesd whatever was in the parts bin if they ran out of the right ones - some folk have even found later xr4x4's with 7.5"
3.64 diffs in the back (but still the 3.62 in the front) - I bet that didn't help there centre diffs much
