hey guys I'm thinking about buying a ke70 panel van. it has a winy diff though. whats the best way about this and the cheapest? buy a diff from the wreckers and hope its good? or get it rebuilt? thanks guys

Try replacing the oil and go from there.

rebuilds are pretty steep- get a quote from anyone near you, and it will be over $500.

 

A good wrecker will let you return one that whines and try another.

what would you ruffly pay for one from a wrecker?

:wink:

:wink:

^^^ :y:

Same for whiny women? :hmm:

thats was probably bound to be said haha. whos a good wrecker in adelaide to call? kinda not keen on upullit and such

whats a good wrecker in adelaide??? what king of question is that?

 

bloody ring up a wrecker and ask them if they will pull it out for you.

 

and if you think its to expensive, ring 4 others and compare prices.

At U Pull It it is $100 for a diff drum to drum so you don't even have to remove the centre just take the whole lot.

 

When I go there I look at the overall condition of the car to give me an indication of the condition of parts. Check the kms its done, etc. If any of them have car club related stickers on them I steer clear, if they have had fender mirrors steer clear. Its a sign they could have been thrashed. I know it sounds stupid but its just what I do.

 

Also, be mindful some vans have different diffs to the sedans etc. Pays to google :glare:

I paid $ 75 for a ke70 diff 3.9ratio drum to drum at the local pinch a part, (oppps did i say that should be pick a part !)

If any of them have car club related stickers on them I steer clear, if they have had fender mirrors steer clear.

 

Haha! Love it Luke! :laff:

 

True tho' I'd do the same!

should i look for a auto one(less chance of beeing thrashed)? what would you not pay for a diff qny thing over say $150?

I have a very winy diff, like to the point where its abrasive sound, I'm thinking bearings shagged, is it as simple as sliding the axle out of the diff bearing removing the cap and the diff bearing falls off then i replace the bearing and all is sweet?
