Sounds like a personal problem to me...(drooping rear end)
Actually both of you are right. You have a terminology problem.
Daniel is talking about swapping out a diff unit. No big deal.
Randall is describing setting up a differential gear assembly. Big Deal.

Hi,
Wow I had not heard this..I talked to Dennis at CDM a while ago and
he did not seem to think it was any big deal. Are we talking about the same
thing?? I have a complete 4.11 lsd unit that I am going to swap out for my
stock 3.7. Maybe I am confused..its already built toghether and ready to go?
I was under the impression that I would jsut unbolt the drive shaft unbolt
the 8 million bots around the pumpkin and bolt in my new unit?? The drive
shaft should bolt right back up and then I would jsut have to slide the axles
back in??
Whoa, somebody clear this up before I go and destroy this thing.
