all diffs are the same except the center axle on a 6x6. they have become expensive due to supply but I have plenty.

The hub level is at the bottom of the big center nut I think so yours were over full maybe. Rear sets its own level, just the fronts need to be filled but there is no need to do anything to the front to change the diff.

set the PPM to 49292

That rear figure includes the hubs which you do not need to drain.

You can save the gear oil and reuse it if it is clear and clean. Otherwise, front 2 gal, rear maybe 2 1/2 gal. front no need to remove big hub nut in front so no oil loss. Rear must remove nut so very small loss but hub oil in rear comes from diff oil so it will refill itself. You will need some...

for a 1083 the front and rear are the same as a 1078. The center axle is different and harder to find. https://www.lmtvtrucks.com/Drive%20Train/index.html

What transfer cases are you referring to? The center diff for the 6 x 6?

No, nowhere that bad, $2000 will buy you a new complete diff ready to be installed and installation is actually pretty easy.

I still have about 120 new diffs

2 plus shipping crate is 359 lbs, about 160 lbs each. to Germany would be VERY expensive, UPS is $1200 to $1600 so would have to be ocean freight.

Ok, I was not fully aware of all that, so what are the chances of diffs from a meritor axle of say 2006 fitting a rockwell axle of 1998? I would think that since it is for the Mil they would all have to be the same?

I have never heard of Rockwell making axles for the LMTV. Are other diffs interchangeable ?

is there a data plate on the diff itself?

Exactly, the cost of parts far exceeds what you pay at auction for truck! If you get a truck for $5k you may have $20k in it when it is repaired and finished. But what a person needs to consider is the value of one of these trucks. Not the same as the cost.

NEW 3.07 are available at about the sane cost and you get to keep your takeouts.

you should look on 'that auction site'

How do you know it only has 3700 miles on it? It may have gone through at least one rebuild where they did not do the seals or is that something that is done each time? You may not have to, but I have seen many things taken apart and put back that the seals then developed leaks. I would take it...

Another BIG reason to do it the take apart way is that your hubs will likely be full of chewed up silicone and also need the lash set. Those army monkeys think a whole tube of silicone for each side is the amount to use!! I have a forklift so dealing with the tires should be painless.
