    If I understand what Colorado said there's a further gear reduction going on here and that would affect the rate at which the rear drive shaft (only) spins. The front shaft would be spinning slower. Then again I could be totally wrong as I have proven time and time again (lug nuts LOL).

    Where am I going to find the data-plate so I can be positive what we are talking about?

    No there's no speed difference between the rearends, that would be catastrophic.

    I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!!
    I said a different rotating speed between the front and rear driveshafts.

    No, they spin the same, both rears have the same gear ratio. A power divider is not going to change the speed between them.

    I DIDNT SAY THEY DID!!

    Omg. I'm just saying if, and I don't know this to be true, IF there is a reduction in gear between the front driveshaft and that first drive axle then the front driveshaft and rear driveshaft will not spin at the same rate. I'm not an idiot I don't think the Two rear ends are going to spin at different Velocities.

    Don't get mad, they spin the same speed the front shaft transfers directly to the rear shaft they spin the same speed.

    I belive that is the power divider.
