The differential assembly is supported by two tapered roller bearings and contained in a structural "clamshell"
housing. It is a conventional, open type (non-locking) and is contained in a two-piece, closed case. Differential
bearing preload is set with a selectable shim, with the pinion gear removed. The preload for the internal/spider
gears is set with shims, as well. The 224 mm (8.82 in.) ring gear is bolted to the differential case.

OPERATION
The 62TE's final drive system is driven by the underdrive compounder's output hub/carrier assembly. The final
drive consists of the remote pinion gear, a ring gear, and a conventional differential assembly. A 23-tooth pinion
gear in mesh with a 79-tooth ring gear results in a final drive ratio of 3.43:1.
