Maddawg's Madness /starting a make-over.

WOW...that was quick...

I think I may have located a 4.77 front from a Trooper, are there any specific questions I should ask about it, besides condition and price. Like does 12 bolt enter into the equation for a front diff?

The front diff housing on the VX is a 10 bolt ...the rear is a 12 bolt.

Obviously you'll still need to source a rear 12 bolt 4.77... to match gearing.

Make sure the ring has 43 teeth, pinion 9 ...43/9 = 4.77777777
Look for even wear on the teeth, this shows it was set up properly.

It may well be hard to find a single 12 bolt 4.77 rear...but even so,
you should grab this front one if its in good shape and a reasonable price.

You can then souce a front/rear pair of 4.77's...
...and you'll have a spare ( as already stated) for the front, which is very nice to have....
....and the one more prone to getting blown up.

Or....you may get lucky and find a lone 12 bolt 4.77 rear to go with it.

PS...
Worst case scenario is you end up with a lone front 4.77....

...that one of these days someone here will REALLY NEED!

(edited to correct 10 bolt front..12 bolt rear..My bad! )
