Leaving Friday Morning from Buffalo, meeting friends in Rochester. Come along! 

 

I would love to, my girlfriend will be coming with me however and we will likely be making it into a bit of a weekend road trip with Carlisle being the end goal, but other stops along the way as well so might not be in a group this year but I seriously appreciate the invite! If plans change I'll be sure to take you up on it

The front diff sends power to the angle gear at a 1:1 ratio - the collar gear ensures this is the case. Basically, the angle gear sees the same input as the passenger axle. Once power is fed into the angle gear, it is spun at either 3.31 or 2.56/7 depending on the model year. The rear diff ratio matches the ratio in the angle gear to ensure the rear axles are matching the rotation of the front wheels.

Carlisle is a fun time for sure - if you can make it I highly suggest it!

Ah yes okay makes perfect sense now, thank you. I'll just make sure I swap it as well and then there's no reason to second guess it. I have to remove both anyways because I am also swapping the 16T from the XC onto the V70 (XC has a 2.3T5 swap in it)

I'd love to hear from more people that might have experience with both systems as well as to how they felt they compare to one another, as I personally don't have any experience with them to judge from. My XC ran for 30 minutes before spinning number 5 rod bearing and my V70 was purchased not working so if anyone has driven them both I'd love to hear your thoughts as to how they compare. I want to get started on this swap but we just got snowed in and it sounds like the next few weeks won't be much better, but I'll do what I can!

Cheers,
