Help with diff casting numbers please
« on: June 04, 2006 - 10:29:30 PM »
Are the casting no.s on the diff just serial no.s or do they tell about gears etc? Mine is an 8 3/4, with the no 2573 and 2881488 cast on the carrier (left side, close to flange). Any help please?

OK thanks CP - I wasn't sure if the last digit was an 8 or a 9.
