Replying to: steve_ (Oct 11, 2007 9:37 am) You're good. I had it down to the auto show but tried to attribute the admission to the wrong person. H3 isn't the only IFS with an aluminum front dif but Hummer seems to be replacing them while under warranty and not denying claims like others do for "off-roading" or "modified"(hearsay). Knew about the others splitting cases and "assumed" the general was different. Is it a question of not if but when. Is it a question of sand dunes versus rock crawling. What about too many pot holes. Thanks for the quick find.

Looks like aluminun can't even draw a response. A lot of comments on both forums, just dreams of a cast iron swap out without considering the other angles like weight. What about that grocery getter alum front dif with 3.55 or 3.73's. Don't even get me started about the new 4.5 diesel that was crazy modified to fit a vehicle-shouldn't the motor dictate the engine bay.
