Does anyone know if there is a serial or part number stamped on the front diff for these? If so, is there a numerical difference between 98/99 and 2000+ that can be determined from that number?
I ask because I'm going to do a final prepurchase inspection on a 2000 that had a used diff installed. (Bad diff servicer screwed up the plug and the diff fluid drained out on the road.) The mechanic that replaced the diff was not sure what model year the used unit came out of. It would be very comforting to know if it is a 2000+ diff in there.
Thanks
