I have been searching around looking to upgrade my diffs, that are now for the most part toast. I have read about XL diffs, alloy diffs, unkillable diffs, and a few other kinds. While unkillable diffs sound awesome, the price dosent.
Here is what I have and do with the truck
4.6 SS. I have had it 4 years and the previous owner had it for a sometime time as well. He ran about 2 gallons through it. I have run about 4 gallons through it maybe more. Since I have had the truck The mods that would affect the diff are a axial .28rr, FLM EXT LCG, 100k diff fluid, and 40 series wheels and tires. The diffs Just now died. I typicaly back yard bash. I recently moved to a new house that is new construction so now there is ALOT of graded land around me(I live in FL so Its all sand). I have been bashing there quite a bit and now I can hear the diffs crunching over the sound of the motor.
Basicly what I am looking for something that is strong and is a good value. I am intrested in the xl diffs but i heard you have to use xl dogbones and hubs, which I don't understand. Can't I just change out the drive cups on the xl diff to my current drive cups?
I haven't seen a definitive diff thread yet so I am hoping to get some good responses in this thread so we can have a break down of what the pros and cons of the different diffs are, with a price break down in one thread.
Thanks for any help
