The car was 8.5 inch ring gear, and the truck was 8-7/8 inch correct? Is there any tips or tricks to tell the diff? Hahahahaha get it
The pics of the diff cover gasket say it all. Both 12 bolt diffs have an 8.875 in ring gear, but the housing is a different shape. The 8.875T is the truck, the 8.875P is the passenger car.
