Dana 35 quick Q
i have my front diff currently laying in the garage, the truck on jack stands and the CV shafts wrapped in ziploc bags...
that was a pain.. but not too bad
one quick question though..
i want to throw new gears. 4.56 in the front while i have it off so i dont have to go through w/ that whole deal again w/ dropping it.. so i was looking around for the gears, and i found some. but whats to know about the reverse cut gears? i have seen on here that the front D35 is a regular cut gear, but in BIG letters on the pumpkin, it says REVERSE....
whats the verdict on that?... and can i drive my truck w/ no front diff? or do i need to put it back in?
Thanks
-Matt
EDIT: im also going to have to pull the CV shafts if i drive w/o a diff, whats the trick to those?

if you pull the CVs to drive it you will ruin the boots on the CVs. so that is a no go. maybe it can be done without any CVs? but then again you will get dirt in the hub.
Our diffs are a Standard Cut normal rotation D35, same as the rear of a Jeep with a D35.
I'm not sure what that "REVERSE" means on the side ? ?

next time please do a search before you post the wrong info....

iv done gears in the front of my ranger and zabeards... both are STANDARD CUT D35(98+).... wow iv even done lifted97ranger's front gears.. he is REVERSE CUT D35(97 and previous)
for every1s info.. low pinion on the front diff uses STANDARD CUT and high pinion uses REVERSE CUT
and the proper terms is CUT not ROTATION.. they all rotate the same direction
