Default Front differential replacement??

Hi the front differential went on my 2001 zr2 and I was wondering the best replacement differential I could get for a budget of about 500 bucks. I like to go offroading alot and am looking for something that can handle it. Any input at all is appreciated. Thanks.

another zr2 front differential?

If you are up for some looking, track down an iron front differential from a 5-speed 4-door blazer or zr2. The iron front diff can handle a locker much better than the aluminum one you just lost.

Is that suppose to say 2-door? I didn't think 4-doors came with 5-speeds???

No one on here has a 4-door manual as they did not exist. At least not in the 2nd gens from the factory.
