Have only had my XJ since this past Saturday. How can I tell the difference between the D35 and the Chrys 8.25 rear end? Its a 94 and has a tag on it that says to use limited slip diff lube.
Thanks guys I believe I have the Chrysler 8.25. Now, what can I expect from it? What are the chances it has a limited slip, do I assume so because it has a tag on it that says "us limited slip diff lube"? What are my gear options with the stock carrier, it will not be a DD so how low can I go (the plan is to run 33' or 35")?
Note the rubber plug on the c8.25
yup, rubber plugs is a bad way to check for 8.25.... google image search is your friend.
on the 8.25, the carrier break is way small, like somewhere in the 2.xx range, so you allready have the larger carrier. your 94 should have a 27 spline, but it's still stronger than a d35!
if it has the LSD tag, i'd bet money that it has a limited slip, why would someone swap the tag over? the question is... is does it still work? probably not.
x2, the 8.25 in my garage waiting to go in, and the d35 on my rig both have rubber plugs...
Flat bottom and aura of beefyness is much more reliable.
