Front Diff for 60 series

Hi all,
Just wondering if the 2h diesel 60 series front diff is the same ratio as the 2f petrol 60 series diff?
As I have got a chance to replace mine with a rebuilt one out of a 2f 60 series.
Thanks in advance,
Mick

yes all 60 series are the same, but the ratio changed from 3.7 to 4.11 in 84 i think it was so make sure its the same ratio as yours

I'm pretty sure that all 60 series cruisers were 4.11.

All 60's, 40's, 55's etc, are the same diff ratio. ;)
The early 3 speed 40's had the different ratio.

de-pends what was reco'd

there were a pair of diffs in the forsale section for $1k, and the front diff is probably worth more than the back so if brakes etc have been reco'd aswell then it probably is worth $400.

yeah. go grab it oldmate
as long as the diffs reco'd, anything else done up is a bonus :cool:

Is it really that common for the front diff of a 60 to wear out? its not like they get used much, unless you do a shitload of 4wding

I suppose not, but you wouldn't wanna pay $400 for a s/hand one

were talking about the whole diff assembly i believe. And if it has been fully reco'd this will cost about $400 in parts. not including cv's.
