I think Muddy is running a 35/75 cam Trev, so a 3.36 might be a bit tall for a grey that has had its low end torque clobbered. Perhaps try a 3.55? Guess it also depends on what profile tyre you are running.
I am running a mild grey with 215/75/14 rear tyers and a 3.36 diff center and it is a great combo :D .

I ran a 3:36 in a worn grey with 13's to Nowra Nats and it went well. Pulled it out and stuck in a 3:55 cause i started towing a 10' caravan. If you're towing with a stock grey then I'd recommend a 3:55. I recon 3:89's rev engine too hard if you're cruising open road.

That should fit Stu. I've got an EJ housing with the 3:36 course spline centre in it.

Hi Stu, I agree with DR.
Since I pulled out the center to replace it because it was very noisy, now its out there is no way of telling if it was noisy or not, just be careful buying one off ebay.
I have the noisy one here, all teeth are intact so I would imagine all it would need is bearings, you are welcome to get it checked out to see how much it would cost. Might save you buying a dodgy one, Trev 8) .

Looks like the kids had a ball.
Who needs the playground when they can play in dads car.
My 7 year old says she hates mine, boring car stuff!!!
But when she's in there mucking around, you can tell she loves it.

I'd rather drive something made of metal, not plastic!
