CONDITION SUMMARY

Situation:  Due to a change in design, the rear differential has a new service part. As a result, should the rear differential require replacement it will be necessary to convert the driveline system to use the new differential. This conversion is only necessary once; for any possible future repairs to the differential, driveshaft, or halfshafts, only the affected components will require repair/replacement.

Action:  In the event it becomes necessary to replace the rear differential, refer to the Repair Procedure outlined below.
