YES. One was taken from a 1998 Olds Bravada and installed into a 1998 Chevy Astro AWD. There is a small plate mounted on the side pointing up on Bravada not used on the Astro. The input shaft drive is different and is an easy fix. Astro is plate mounted and Bravada has a u-joint end. Simply exchange them. Everything works. I looked all over for Astro replacement front diff and all places are TOO HIGH priced. It will also work from Chevy Blazers and GMC Jimmy. The difference in years older is the switch from plate drive halfshafts (older) to cv type (newer) and the input was plate type(older) switched to u-joint (newer). I certainly hope this info helps someone, it took me three months with no wheels to find out and fix mine. Spend no more than 500 for the part.
