I didn't know the front diff flange was different :confused:
CRD's have a cup type flange that a plunge type CV fits into. And what are these weights on the diffs? My CRD doesn't have them!

Ok advice time! I am concerned about changing over the flanges.
1. Are the V8 & CRD the same spline on the pinion?
2. Do I run the risk of un-aligning the pinion & ring gear when I change the yoke? I know the torque spec's, is it just a case of removing the old & fitting the new?
3. Should I leave it & modify my new prop shaft to suit?[

Just swap them over mate, did same on mine 3 years ago still there now. I did fit a new seal and nut for precaution.

I have the weights (hemi), pretty-sure I've seen them on Briteways too.
To resist torque shock I guess. If the CRDs don't have them, maybe something about our 545rfe trans? Firmer downshifts?

Vibration dampers, on the early years. Unbolt and dispose lol

I would put an eaton truetrac in the rear if it was mine.

What would make that better than QD11
