Another question. Several guys have mentioned the swap of the iron and aluminum units in their car. Can I then assume that the width (inner u-joint to inner u-joint) is the same?

No, they're not the same. If you convert from a Dana to an iron diff you have to change the spindle flanges and the halfshafts.

Hi Mike,
1. The carrier is thicker and has more neat around the cross shaft. But the clutches are smaller.
2. I'll get you some comparison pics
3. If memory serves correct 8.2
4. No idea. I wouldn't use a D36 in a riding lawnmower.
5. Slightly shorter and thinner metal used in the tubes on the 80-82
6. I'm shipping this diff tomorrow so I will have an exact weight
7. My daughter

6) Do we have an accurate weight difference between the iron and aluminum rears, without the covers (for apples to apples comparison)?
7) Who's the slim in Tracdogg's avatar?

Any update on the weight issue?

I assume you're asking about the weight of the differential ??? :drink:
The diffs are the same except for the stub axles. 80-81 manual and all 82 use the 1350 u-joint. The bolts that hold the straps are 5/16 thread. 80-81 auto uses the 1330 joint. The distance from cap to cap is 3.62 in on both. Cap diameter is 1.06 for 1330 and 1.18 for the 1350. Also the auto stub axles use 1/4 threads to bolt the straps on.
