    Hello all,
    I haven’t seen any threads that can help me with this so I hope someone might be able to. Rear differential blew in my 04 xtra cab 3.4 manual. Axle code B03A.

    I bought a replacement axle in its entirety out of another 1st gen with the same axle code. I did so because all of the brackets for brake lines, parking brake, etc were rotted off the housing of mine. That being said, after I proceeded to replace all necessary parts in the new axle I realized that my old one had ABS plug ins behind the dust shields on both sides and the new one doesnt.

    My question is, if I were to pull the shafts and components from the axle without ABS, can I put it in a new axle housing? I figure since the one I bought is in good condition I can just buy restored housing that has the ABS ports and swap everything to it. Thank you!
