: Yea, I assumed he was talking about a removable carrier when he said "two-piece" because that's what a 8-inch Ford rearend is and that's what his car came with. I was refering to the "overdrive" statement with my comment... : : Could they be refering to a "removable carrier" : : differential? I believe the V8 Mavericks/Comets : : had those, while the sixes had a type called : : an "integral carrier." Neither has anything to do : : with being overdrive, but a removable carrier : : differential has the "guts" removable from the : : differential housing, so you can service the : : differential without pulling the whole rear axle : : out of the car. : : I agree, they may be trying to pull something over, : : unless there was some miscommunication about : : the above terminology. I'd press them with more : : questions about what they're talking about. Like : : I said, there's no such thing as an "overdrive" : : unit on a differential, so I'd tread lightly, un- : : less there was an honest miscommunication about : : the terminology. : : --------------------- : : : Sounds like sombody's giving you the "muffler bearing" treatment... : : : : : : : : : Hey guys, : : : : here's a question that I haven't seen posted before : : : : (If i've overlooked,please excuse me). I have a 1973 : : : : Maverick, 2-D, 302,C4. I went to have the diff serviced : : : : and was told that I had a 2-piece differential, the : : : : front piece being an overdrive unit. I've heard of OD : : : : diff units, but always thought they were aftermarket. : : : : Is this possibly a factory unit, or did such beasts : : : : exist? Any input is greatly appreciated.
