the 8.8 axle

[kolton]

swapping an 8.8 for my 7.5 rearend.
my question is, what is the electronic plug/input located on the back of the differential?
what is it for? temp?

almost done, pics will be up soon!

thanks.

do you have push button 4wd?
also what year B2 is this?

on second thought its probably a low diff fluid sensor. my '88 b2 came with just a stopper where your sensor is. unplug it and see if any warning lights come on.

i got the 8.8 off of a 92 exploder, and im putting it in my 87 bii.
my bii has the regular 4x4 stick and im pretty shure the exploder had push button.

im just wondering if i need it. seeing how my bii didnt come with whatever option this rearend has.
