    Hello Forum,

    I was VERY undecided on what to do with my open diff set-up. Well, thanks to this forum highly recommending East Coast Gear Supply I gave them a call & after a few minutes talking to them I went with this for my DCSB PreRunner 4.0 Auto:

    2008 TACOMA PRERUNNER NON ELD:
    Complete Assembled ECGS Differential Toyota 100, Tacoma with 3.73 R&P:
    $600.
    TT 913A541 True-Trac limited slip for Tacoma 8.4:
    $450.
    Lucas SAE 85W-140 Gear Oil:
    $7.50 x 3 quarts.
    TOTAL:
    $1072.50

    !!!!!DELIVER JANUARY 7TH THROUGH JANUARY 11TH!!!!!

    I do need help with a couple of things which I hope I can get from you folks.

    1) Torque Specs for all the bolts involved in the diff swap.

    2) I want to confirm the diff removal process & please let me know if I left anything out:
    * Drain gear oil,
    * Unbolt the 4 bolts behind each brake plate,
    * Unbolt the brake line brackets but I do not have to disconnect the line so I do not have to bleed the brakes,
    * Slide out the axles 3 to 4 inches each,
    * Unbolt the driveshaft,
    * Unbolt the nuts that hold the diff and pull it out,
    * Reverse the process.

    BTW, my truck has 51,000 miles. Is it a good idea to replace the axle seals since I'm in that area anyways? I do realize that if I replace the axle seals I will need to disconnect the brake lines and bleed the system.

    Thanks Forum :)
