I have a 2005 Frontier quad cab 4.0L automatic 2WD Nismo packaged locking rear end 65K miles. The problem is the rear diff started making crunching sounds. I pulled the inspection cover and found metal chunks which appear to have come from inside the spool where the axle gears are. I had changed the rear end oil at 40K and used the Nissan lubricate. The dealer says to change the whole rear end completely. I understand parts are available for this rear end but cant seem to find anyone who will do the work. I cant find a reman unit anywhere and a new OEM unit is $2,750.00. Can a non locking regular rear end be fitted? Less expensive? If so does anyone know which one, part #?

Have you tried for a used one?? www.car-part.com is a good source.
Your M226 rear diff has a ratio of 3.133 - the non locking is 3.538 - the C200 rear diff is a 3.133 ratio also. Not sure on the interchangeability between the C200 and M226. Maybe the salvage yard can help on the interchange.
