LSD's: 3.7 or 3.9? replacing 3.9

Featured Replies

Greetings,

 

My '89 GL Touring Wagon has a 3.9 rear diff and I'd like to add a LSD. It sounds like the 3.7 is far more common, can I swap with the 3.7 or do I need to find a 3.9?

 

Thanks...

hey i used to live near bend madress to be exact but back to topic if you where to put a 3.7 in you would have to change the tranny also. to get a 3.9 lsd i do believe you have to take the lsd out of a 3.7 and put it in a 3.9 case.

Find a 3.7 LSD and put your existing 3.9 gears in the LSD and you'll have it.

I think there are numerous write-ups on the how to details.

 

Good luck

Thanks for the info! Great group!

Anyone have any links for write ups on how to do the swap?

I'm going to be in Sisters around Christmas, I can show you how if you'd like. I can bring the special tool for removing the stub axles. If you have everything all ready, the whole process takes less then an hour.
