Default 2WD diff

Hi All.
On the 2wd diff with the 108mm flanges which ratios were used and how do you tell the ratio without the diff tag.
Were these 2wd diffs lsd or not.

Many Thanks

Alan

You can do it without taking the cover off as well, by marking the wheel and the prop, then turning prop until wheel turned complete turn count how many turns of the prop, if it comes out at just over 3 1/2 turns then it is a 3.62.

Hi All.
The diff is now on the bench and its a 3.6 , I know this has 108mm output flanges (I have the driveshafts with it and stub axles as well) are the input flanges all the same as I am replacing a 7" with push in driveshafts with this one, so not sure if I need another propshaft.
