Have a 46 1 1/2 ton and am trying to find out the different diff centre options.
can you get them as low as 3.08 etc... now I know that something this low will strain the 216 but just weighing up the otions as I am very new to the Big Bolts.
Cheers
Jason.

It seems the replacement market is mainly for '47-up 1/2 and 3/4 tons. The only option is probably swapping in a later model axle, or an overdrive tranny.

I've never figured out the H050, H052, and H072 designations, the differentials are the same, and everything else appears to be. Might be a brake issue. | | |
