Titan Front Diff Swap

And here I was thinking that a Titan front diff swap on my Frontier would be another check on my list of things I wouldn't have to worry about breaking on the trail...

the mut had (has?) 3.69's like I do, the auto guys should have no problem (3.357's), it's the manual nismo and SE guys (with 3.54's and 3.69's) who can't match what we have.

Well I read that the Titan front diff has been redesigned but don't know what year the redesigned model is. But how are we to know that the problems the front diff has in the Titans aren't going to exist when installed in our Frontiers with the axel shaft popping out ect.?

Anyone have a link to the price of the new redesigned Titan m205 front diff and Pathy half shafts?

Transfer cases and front diff's are not the same thing right? If they are then I can buy the right titan transfer case off of 4x4parts.com..??

Again, titans have alot more torque, which attributes to the diff failures. Including shafts popping due to clip failures. Those diffs are 25mm bigger than ours. us having R180As and Titans have M205's. We've had what...8 guys blow R180s? Out of how many? now add an INCH to the diff....


And why would you want a titan transfercase? To be honest, I'm not convinced we don't have the same unit. It wouldn't surprise me.
