Diff Difference?

Post by jhsuzi »

Quick Question: How do you tell the difference between a NT diff (3.9) and a WT Diff (3.7)?

Cheers

external or internal?

external - spring pads are 2" wider approx on the WT 3.7 diffs

internal - count the crown and pinion to devide = ratio

also NT 3.9 are 4 pin diffs front and rear, where the 3.7 are 4 pin rear only i think.
