8 3/4 A Body Just picked up
Went with this

Will let you know if it was worth the $59 w/shipping when I get a look at it.
Received the book & DVD today. Here's what the book said about the 8 3/4 "cone type" from 69 - 74: :read2:
"Borg-Warner originally manufactured the cone type from 1969 to 1974. The cone type cannot be rebuilt; your best option is to purchase an aftermarket unit if yours is not working correctly."
Nice huh? :mumum:
I haven't plugged in the DVD yet so, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I know I've seen threads mentioning machining material on the unit mating halves and shimming to get things back to like new. So, if the DVD mimics the comments in the book I'll have to search for the specifics I saw on ABO.
Will get back after looking at the DVD. I guess the book will be a good resource for the future and other type diffs.
DVD was pretty good. Nothing about cone type. I guess everyone that does rear work chucks them and gets something else?
So I'll be looking more into how to check the cone type.
I feel I'm replying to myself here but realize at some point either someone will be able to help me and what I find out along the way will help me and maybe someone else.
