LP D30 to HP D30 swap
i found a low pinion dana30 on a wrecked 2-door and id like to swap it onto my 2000 which has the low pinion d30. do i need to do anything special? i have a 3" lift with stock control arms and just about everything else driveline/suspension
ooooh and im not sure on the 2 door year, but its def pre 97

everything ive read says they should have the same gear ratios, just wondering if anyone knew of any oddballs or anything like that. id like to put an aussie locker in it to before i put it on

Look on the ring gear it will say 11-39 or something like that, I did a thread about it like a year ago called easy way to hell your gears. I'm on my phone or I would post the link for you. And I did a HP to lot everything bolted up no prob, just watch your drive shaft Anker sure it still has room to compress.

picked it up and it has the same ratio, holler.
can anyone decode the other numbers or let me in on what they mean?
the dif cover has:
40869
081-5
REV-R
050394
and the tag has:
52069194
3.55
610502-7
im not even sure what year it was off of, it was crashed bad and i didnt get a chance to see the id badge or anything. no vac disconnect either. im going to turn down the rotors too and try to keep them as spares. the dif cover also has sealant on it that is clean...does that mean it was apart not to long ago? or will that red sealant stay clean for awhile?
any info is appreciated
