So I ordered a diff and transfer case kit from AB. I notice that it came with a different drain plug (large hex) rather then the smaller 3/8 drive plug. Obviously their different. Anyone knows when they swapped them? Wanted to know if mine is the newer or older version. I have a 06 thanks

Don't hold me to this, but I'm pretty sure the diffs with the large hex key are the old style that are prone to making noise. The replacement diffs had the 3/8" square. LR4's and newer LR3's had the 3/8" square.
