A differential with an overrunning clutch (ORC) assembly is provided. The differential includes a first plain bearing end cap with an interior surface that forms a plain bearing interface with an outer surface of a first side hub. The first plain bearing end cap further has a first outer surface portion that engages a first end portion of a roller cage assembly. A second plain bearing end cap with an interior surface that forms a plain bearing interface with an outer surface of the second side hub is also included. The second plain bearing end cap further has a first outer surface portion that engages a second end portion of the roller cage assembly. The (ORC) assembly selectively engages the roller cage assembly during an ORC condition to selectively couple torque between a ring gear and the first and second side hubs.

A vehicle includes a combined wet brake and rear gear assembly supported by a pair of frames. The combined wet brake and rear gear assembly includes a housing having at least one gear and a wet brake provided therein. An input shaft is connected to the gear and to the engine of the vehicle. The wet brake is located between one of the pairs of frames and the input shaft in the transverse direction of the vehicle in a top plan view.

A brake system () utilizes a ring gear assembly (). The ring gear assembly () includes a ring gear (G) that rotates in the oil in the oil sump formed by the housing (). The ring gear picks up oil as it rotates and as the oil is carried with to the top of the ring gear it falls by gravity into an accumulation cavity (C). The oil then travels through an aperture (A) and is then available for use by the reaction and friction plates (and) for cooling.
