I blew the diff in my 7.5 rear end finaly and i need to get my car back on the road ASAP, i just need a regualr 8.8 assembly , any one know where to get one cheap? or anyone near southeast michigan with one available? and how hard will it be for me to do the swap?
Used: Junk yard. Make sure you find one from a 99-04 since they are 1.5" longer, end to end, than 95-98 assemblies.
Swapping an axle isn't that big a deal. Four bolts and some ancillary stuff (e.g. brake calipers, driveshaft etc) and the thing falls to the floor. Just be careful when working near the coils.
