I have my 3rd members in a shop right now getting re-geared from 4.10 to 4.88. And they called me telling me that I have a V6 front 3rd member and the bearings they purchased for my 4cyl will not fit that front end. is there a difference in the front 3rd member to make that possible? I did a part search on advanceautoparts and its the same part number but i thought maybe someone on here would be able to help me.

 

4cyl and v6 front diffs I believe were the same, only difference was in the rear.

another thread from here: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...t-diff-152521/

 

i think he is saying someone put a v6 diff in the front housing. i think the carrier bearings are different from the two. v6 carrier vs. 4cyl carrier. the 4cyl bearings are smaller than the v6 ones i believe

 

Thanks for the help.. They were telling the truth...I Hope...

 

They should be the same. The only difference that I can think of is the ADD have a different bearing on one side than the NON add.

 

im thinkin that he has a SFA and a rear v6 third in the front

 

That would make a lot more sense. If thats the case, throw that one in the rear!

 

haha yea, all this confusion coulda been avoided by posting info about his rig but yea i would run that one in the rear, and to the OP just have them order the V6bearing for it

 

nope IFS with bracket lift.

 

Well F then. Wheres the OP at. Hell tall us. Haha
