Just arrived today, Marlin did a fantastic job putting together a replacement for my stock diff. (which by the way will be for sale soon :wink:

). Not sure when I will have time to install it. Anyone want to help?

Make sure you clearance those rear facing mounting tabs on the passenger side, as I had to do, before you bolt it in. Cause it don't look as though Marlin did as he should.

You lucky sensored word!!!!! I wanted to be the 1st KJ with an Eaton E-Locker for mine, but funds didn't quite allow it, so I had to reuse the old DTT.

this is probably a very newb question here but cant you now run like 6" springs? Or is that still only for the SFA KJs?

Can't do it, since it doesn't eliminate the UCA's.

So, which one of those is the drain and which is the fill? They look like they're parallel and neither would drain fully when in a mounted position...

the drain is on the bottom of the housing...
Looks like the cover has two fill holes

secondary bung opening for eaton or arb hose/wiring?

If you look the original hole in the cover would not be accessible due to the mount being in the way, so a second fill hole was added to be easier.
Or at least thats what I am seeing :wink:

Thats correct. The new extended bung on the left is the new fill. A new drain was added to bottom.

The air line fitting for the ARB is on the top of the pumpkin. The little brass fitting you see in this photo.
