10923 I believe.

But since i'm using it for transportation....less hooligan activities commence. Also, I just take different routes than i'd normally take....but other than that, I barely get to just ride to ride. I also still have not been able to get together with any riding buddies or make any new riding buddies

 

Pretty sure your speed sensor is on the back wheel right?

 

No riding friends??

I have no idea

 

Withdrawals*

 

Yuh.

Ugh. Bring it to me and i'll find out

 

Pinion seal in hand.

 

Cool story bro

 

I read it as

"Dhik pics inbound"

​

 

Need to figure out what i'm supposed to do about my pinion preload. Set it the same? I don't know what it currently is and don't want to just eye ball it.

Or set it to more bacause of the bigger tires?

Halp.

 

Pinion preload? Do you mean like the angle or?

Edit: looked it up, I have no idea

 

The torque specs on the nut that bolts the flange to the pinion.

Thr flange is what you bolt the drive shaft to.

I need the torque and preload specs

 

Scroll down to toyota, i found it:

Inch pounds? Jesus. That thing isn't on there with much

 

Won't ever come off. The drive shaft holds it in place

 

Rear shaft angle:


Front shaft angle:

 

In before the grenaded diff upadate

 

Lol
She's done. Tell everyone.

Happy Easter!

 

After some further diagnosis, pinion bearing is gone. I believe a pin in the bearing has come out and is being held in place by one of the races. It sounds like gravel and then there is a thud at a certain point in the rotation. Seems to be around the same position every time. It also seems to be a thud at low speed and turns into my whirling/howling noise at speed. Have to order a third from ECGS. I have many questions for them though.

Are they built to order?

Are the gears new? They say the bearings are all new...

Is the housing new?

Should I do a solid spacer?

Is the diff open, mechanical LSD, or what?

Which pinion flange do I need?

How do I remove the third? Do I have to pull the half shafts comepletely out? How do I get them out?

What will happen with my core? Can someone diagnose it and give me a report?

Is there anything else I should replace in this process?

What diff fluid should I use?

 

Yes axles will need to be pulled. 4 bolts backside of brake shields. Brake lines will need to be removed. E-brake cable will need to be removed.
Remove all bolts on clam. Pull straight back.
Oh, drain the fluid first...sounds like this is already done.

On re install ensure old seal is completely removed, new seal should be seamless.

Have fun

 

They can be built to order where you just swap in the third.

Gears are new

Housing is not

You don't need a solid spacer but go for it since you are ordering new gears

To remove the third is easy: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...d-installation-of-e-locker-3rd-member.193828/
Just ignore the E locker steps
