    Hey guys, I broke the front diff in my truck a few weeks ago, found a complete diff to swap in, and as I was getting to work on it tonight I noticed my truck has a six pin connector and two vacuum lines going to the axle disconnect. The new to me diff has three vacuum lines and a two pin connector. Otherwise they look identical. I'm wondering if I can unbolt my ADD and swap it into the replacement or if they are not interchangeable. I tried searching but didn't find anything and I'm at the shop at work so it can't be left immobile. Thanks.

    I hope you made sure to get the correct gear ratio.

    Trying to get out of a snowbank. If I had to guess it was already broken or in rough shape, the truck is mostly stock, tires are only 32s, but it's been wheeled a lot.
