I'm curious if anyone has both 1.5 ton axles from the different generations to compare since the pre AD information doesn't designate the axle with as H110 or anything else.
The earlier version was basically the same axle. The ring and pinion geometry was the same, however the pinion gear had a much longer input shaft on it because it was for a torque tube setup. I have not confirmed this myself but have talked at great length about it with another forum member that has a lot of experience with them. He seemed to think the early style 5.43 pinons could be modified to work with an open driveline, however I haven't actually seen what one looks like to be able to make a comparison and form an opinion on it myself.
