A mate is giving me a 2 litre xr4x4 but i thought they came in 2.8 and 2.9 flavours? Is this just a 2.0 sierra with a sticker on the back or could it be a xr4x4?

They are the same on the gearbox and transfer box and related parts, but the front and rear diffs are 3.92 compared to the Cossie 3.6x ratio, although they are both 7" diffs on the back.

The front knuckles and hubs are different though on the Cossie compared to the DOHC XR version.

Dojj or Mick can tell you a lot more though.

Judging by how quickly people seem to get through 3.6x diffs around here, that means they should be good for about 1 launch then

wrong!

Changing the Diff ratio makes it EASIER for transmission to cope. Its like trying to climb up a less steep ladder if you know what I mean?!?!?!

Them 2 litre's were complete and utter Pony, at least the 2.8's could pull your foreskin back.

don't agree, so long as the head doesn't go tits up, the 4x4 2.0 are good
all rounders,better by miles on juice+ handled better than the v6 because
it was lighter
