Claim:
1. A vehicle differential assembly comprising: a differential housing; a differential case rotationally coupled to and disposed within the differential housing, the differential case having a first spline portion; a differential gear set rotationally coupled to and disposed within the differential case; a ring gear rotationally coupled to and disposed about the differential case, the ring gear having a second spline portion; and a disconnect member operably coupled between the ring gear and the differential case, the disconnect member having a torque transmitting member movable between a coupled and an uncoupled position, the disconnected member being in the coupled position when the torque transmitting member is coupled to the first spline portion and the second spline portion, wherein the ring gear is rotationally coupled to the differential case when the torque transmitting member is in the coupled position.
