Sagging…My chest, yes. Mounts…doubtful.
My engine block is an N/A 6.2 599 block so the oil pan is a little different. I do remember that little tidbit but, I don’t know if the front differential designs changed much and this one came from a salvage yard given the OEM unit’s upper mount broke the first time and again with that salvaged unit a couple of years later.
This picture is of the OEM diff back in March 2014 (Post#52 when I didn’t know enough to realize I had a differential drop kit on the truck).
I’ve lost count but, I think my current unit is the third one I’ve swapped so there’s no telling if one of the cooling fins is different or the oil pan is the culprit. I could always get the space by just grinding down the cooling fin closest to the pan. Yeah, I know, don’t do it but, in my defense, why not? This thing is grinding me down and I was so close to the finish line
Like I said, I bought a replacement diff. two years ago when I was fighting things to pull the driver’s side Output Shaft to replace the leaking seal. Now that this one was close to going in, the passenger side seal is weeping.
I’ll probably just put the replacement differential in and stop the pain with this one. Of course, there’s also the ‘devil you know’ factor to consider. With the differential dropped, I could also address the weeping seal.
