hey.. mulch here... continuing from my other topic ( http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10962&PN=1 - LT35 Engine Change Saga )...

One of the next things I need to do on my van... is get the proper rear diff on there....

anyone got any contrasting info about rear diffs for LT35s??

anyone got a rear diff for sale?? perhaps minus axle??

any hints??

thing is.... my van has currently the previous diff from when it was a petrol 4 gear vehicle... now it is a 5 gear diesel.... its screaming in a roary purry kind of a way at about 55mph.... nice... but i am sure it could be making that noise at about 65mph!!! small difference... but im wondering maybe the lower ratio diff is causing some long term damage ... i dont know..... i may have orchestrated an engine change on this beast... but i aint no seasoned mechanic!!!

many thanks.... mulch :]
