thats were im at. im on my second front diff. im 4.88 due to tire size and the power plus the traction makes these 8.25 time bombs that plus no traction devices makes me really want to swap the front to that. i have custom axles right now and from what i have gathered the 07 and older Dmax share the same 33 spline so i would use the inner cvs from that and the outers off the denali and just get new shafts made. even if the spines are different inside and out it doesnt matter to me as i have to get new ones made any way. front diver shaft length different? what were you doing with the awd? i was told to just make a billet plug the same as the 4x4 actuator so its "locked" in 4x4 at all times
Quick hijack, how difficult was your front end swap? Seems like it's a straight forward, lights, bumper, grill, fender & hood swap.
