does anybody know what one of these weighs? i am thinking about getting one shipped for my DD, and was curious what they weigh. the guy can't do forwardair (only UPS), so that may crater the deal. a rear V6 third is about 60lbs, so i am guessing more like 90lbs for a whole IFS front diff.

I'd say around 60 for the entire diff plus packing. I shipped my old one FedEx. It's more bulky than the weight. I had to double box it and it was a PITA, and will never do it again. An 8" 3rd is not 60 pounds last I picked one up

I just shipped one w/ a trutrac in it. Just the housing and guts, no drivers side tube, and no cover. It was 53lbs packed.

The key is to have him remove any items you don't specifically need... shafts, long side tube, etc. Really saves the weight...

I shipped one last fall, it was 89lbs including packing (cardboard) where you take it to be shipped can make a big difference. I got an online quote from FedEx Ground for ~$42 if I took it to one of their shipping centers. Out of curiosity I took it to one of thoes copy / postal supply stores and they wanted like $93 to ship it via FedEx Ground.

See if you cant talk him in to taking it to an actual ups station and not a middleman business.


*needless to say my broke student self took it to the FedEx place, since it was not too much farther out of the way*

I shipped a stock 4cyl 4.10, and it weighed 53 lbs.

Just re-read your question; this was just the 3rd member.

I can't answer your question as to the weight but if you are looking for the complete assembly hub to hub, I have one sitting behind my house, I'm located in Huntsville. For more info let me know! -Matt

The last one I shipped was ~80lbs total w/ ADD and no packaging, ~60 w/o any axle tube/stubs attached to the driver's side (he didn't need the ADD and was going to swap his non-ADD stuff onto it).

that is my plan now. 60lbs and a much smaller box. i read about some different size bearings in pre 3/88 in IFS diffs. will that cause a problem when i swap tubes, etc?
