Changing Differential
How difficult is it to change the differential in a 04 auto? The last time I swapped a "rear end" was many years ago on a Ford. I jacked up the rear end, pulled the axels, dropped the drive shaft and removed the 3rd member. Reversing the process with the replacement. The whole job took less than an hour. I have a feeling that the job will be a bit more involved with my C5. Any suggestions (including "have someone else do it")?
