c6 diff swap help?
so i picked up a c6 diff, rear cradle, LCA's, rear mono leaf and diff mounts already, i need to swap the housing on the rear of my trans (maunal m12) to the c6 housing but unsure on witch i need?
i know i need one from 2006 or 2007 but there is 2 part numbers listed one for the 7.0L 89060075 and one for the 6.0L 19132778 can anyone tell me witch one will work for my c5 manual trans?
btw my trans is already swapped to the 30 spline output shaft did that when i upgraded a few years ago

If you have the 30 spline output shaft I am 95% sure you need the Z06 piece which is your first part number there. The regular one is for 27 spline...
Both parts are damn near impossible to find anymore though.

base diff in 06-07 was still 27 spline im 99% sure. ive been researching putting a C6 diff in my car. I talked to a guy at RPM, and he basically confirmed this as well, said all I needed was an 06-07 base tail shaft, no other trans changes needed to mate with base 06-07 manual diff. The tail shaft housings are damn near impossible to find or they are $800 so im just rebuilding my stock diff in my 02.
Z06 was always 30 spline.
So what rear end did you get? base or Z06?
If you got a base, 06-07 manual diff, you probably got a 27 spline diff...
If you got an 08+ diff, I dont know what the TR6060 has in the base model. Im sure the Z06 TR6060 retained the 30 spline.

after wearing out the 27 spline stuff i upgraded to 30 spline built a 3 rib c5 diff that had the DTE brace so im not putting another c5 diff back in just not worth it!
i picked up a diff out of a low mile 2013 zr1 (30 spline) then got the other parts from a guy parting out a 2010 zo6 so now just need the tail housing then figure out what im going to do with the diff cooler lines, just cant find any solid info on what part number i need

I wasnt suggesting putting a c5 diff back in...
although did you blow up the built c5 diff?
If you have a ZR1 rear end you need the 06-07 Z06 tail shaft(which is your first part number listed above). that will be sized for 30 spline. If you get the standard one it will be for 27 spline and my guess is the hole is to small for a 30 spline shaft to exit. All you should need to do is shim the tail shaft to your trans. I think RPM sells a shim set. Tick performance also might.
