hi all,
i have just discovered that my front dif has a broken tooth on 1 of the side gears.
which has damaged the crown wheel
so no 4wd until i fix that sucker so my xmas trip is probably off,
i would love to be able to put a diferent dif centre in so i can get a lsd or be able to put a locker in
does anyone know if the fron difs of a later model rocky with a lsd would be able to fit in?
anyhelp much appreciated
or if anyone has a spare dif centre lying around would be good to
diesel f75

Have Rocky's got manual front hubs - or autos?

i have avm manual hubs fitted
they feel very nice to engage and disengage
but rockies come out with both
i believe mine had autos from new

I was just asking because if you welded the front diff you'd be engaging/ disengaging the hubs a lot more> Intially I thought auto's would be better (if you set up a switch inside to control them), but you need to reverse to disengage them don't you?

From what I've heard all the last series did.

I know the rear was LSD on the later ones.. but Im not sure about fronts.. not much is known with the later model rockys...

Could he see about putting a Lux axle and diff into it?? :twisted:
