i am looking for a 3.9 lsd, i currently have a 3.55 lsd so is anyone interested in a swap or something like that? otherwise how much would one cost, if i can even find one.

normal 3.5 lsd's are worth up to a grand for a perfect one, i have NEVER seen a 3.9 for sale, ur best bet is to get one from the US, u will probably spend $1500 getting one these days with the freight situation the way it is..

if i could sell mine for near a grand then i might pay 1500 for a 3.9. But do the american 3.9's bolt straight up?

US didn't get 3.9 in a staz. They have to transplant in from other mitsu products.

you could get ahold of some bloke from the states and have im pull the 3:90's from a u.s. d-50 truck

What size diff housing do you have?
It may be possible to transplant Mitsi commercial gears onto your LSD hemisphere.

Some 80's L200s had 3.9:1 gears, but I have not ascertained what size housing they fit into (if any!!).
This is a job for an enterprising Sunny Coast mechanic!

^^^ hahaha yeah i know, i'll have a spare big diff to play with once the JB is sold, but jeez its gonna be fun finding an L200 these days they're not exactly common any more..

but yes i'm dead sure the dodge D50 and L200 are the same vehicle..

Mate

I can provide you with the proper 3:90 gears (Crown and pinion) for you to swap out of yours.

The only catch is that you MUST have the larger diff housing that takes the larger 8" crown otherwise you will need to upgrade to the larger diff housing and centre. Unless you can locate a small 7" crown locally.

The set of 3:90 gears will be USD$140.00/AUD$160.00 posted to your door Air mail. I will need a few days or up to a week or so to locate a good set for you if you are interested.

I also can provide ALL seals and internal bearings for you to rebuild the diff once you have it apart. I CANNOT provide the disks as those have been discontinued and used one will require the sale of a complete LSD diff.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers
