I am on Mazdatrcuking.com and a member there posted this:

I told him that I dont think a RX8 rear Diff would be as strong as a Mazda truck or Van rear Diff. My view is that the RX8 is designed to go fast, and not designed for any sort of abuse ie: 4x4ing, hauling, towing etc. all the things we do with a truck..

So I figure that you guys would know best..

WOULD a RX8 rear diff handle the abuse that a Mazda truck would throw at it..

That truck is a solid rear end. The rx8 has independent rear end. It would take a massive amount of custom fabrication to make it work.

I posted a link here from Mazdatrucking.com, so maybe the "writer" will come and see for himself....

Thanks..

why so you can have 2 forums fighting over a problem you created?

Pantharen

The original writer & I didnt have a problem.. I just wanted clarity and figured that here would be the right place to gain clarity.. I never have a problem admitting I am wrong, when I am wrong..

as long as it wasnt a

"post link to this forum" see you guys dont know **** these rx8's guys are right and then start a flame war is all i was going for =)

the Rx8 is an 8" ring gear and i think the truck is something different, so it won't interchange in the first place.

Hmmm I never though of looking at it from that perspective...

But I've deleted my posts in that thread anyways.. Going to ignore them and let him figure out that it isn't going work.. WHEN he comes whining that it broke, I'll just chuckle..
