First diff to Fourth My car had the gen 1 differential (part #10361308) which I recently sold and purchased a lightly used gen 4 (part #25873498). Wondering if anyone has swapped these themselves and if they are identical in installation?
Reason I ask is the picture of the pinion shaft mount (for lack of a better term) in the picture of the Gen 4 differential looks different than the gen 1 I took off (it is just a stock photo of the gen 4 I bought so hard to tell for sure until I receive it).
I we be installing the driveshaft shop aftermarket driveline in place of my busted stock one.
Any tips or feedback?

The picture is not a CTS-V carrier. Propeller flange was a dead giveaway. My Gen 4 has the same carrier as yours.
Fourth gen on the left, second gen on the right
4th gen (same exact unit as the one on the left above)

Ok that's what I thought but the dealer parts website I was looking at was confusing as **** about the different carrier part numbers, thought is was the CTS base model that has the propeller but wanted to make sure I was correct!
I better call the guy I bought it from and make sure its really what he says it is!
Thanks fellas!
