Nice slick bottom! So therefore Dana 70. Also has 70U embossed into the pumpkin which is very legible. And thats as far as I got.
Also indicates LS/open.Door jamb sticker tells you gear ratio and axle weight class...nothing more.
The OP already mentioned it's a 70, and from post #1, wanted to know if there's a way to determine whether it's an LS.Not what diff, like a 60 or 70...
In all likelyhood it's a 70U
Well since I can't really get anywhere with identifying what I have by any external markings, I'm going to assume that it's an open diff as it has never ever locked up when I have needed it to, so; i would like to order a LS unit to install while I have the axles out in a few weeks for brakes and I need a fluid change also. Does anyone know a good source to get all the LS parts that I need?? What all Can I reuse in my current diff??
Did you ever look at the door jamb sticker?Well since I can't really get anywhere with identifying what I have by any external markings, I'm going to assume that it's an open diff as it has never ever locked up when I have needed it to,
mine has an obnoxious detroit locker in the rear. i find it odd that someone spent money on that and kept the 355 gears but did not do a turbo or even a better exhaust system.
Some folks seem frustrated that they don't lock when one wheel is in the air as the need "some" traction in order to work.
