What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Ok, most likely just valve cover gaskets then.

 

That'll make sense. Since that option of the engine is bone dry compared to underneath that level at least

 

Are you a 5 lug or 6 lug prerunner? I didn't think they made lift spindles for first gen prerunners. Must be a 5 lug.

 

hes 5 lug

 

Check rockauto.com. did a full brake job on son's 89 , for under 80 bucks. That's with rotors.

 

couple companies did make 6 lug spindles btw. i believe solo still does. costs a fortune tho

 

Did front 7.5" diffs ever come stock on any vehicle with 4.56's or just 4.10 and 4.30?

@Speedytech7 @gearcruncher

 

I think some of the early models with 4-cylinder autos had a 4.56 option.

 

There's one on offer up but I'm concerned it's really 4.30. Plus it's vacuum assist and wouldn't have those been manual / non-ADD?

 

Put my new bed mat in it.

 

Interesting.

 

they did

just swap over your existing stuff.

 

Not 100% sure, but I think the early models had a vacuum assist for both manual and ADD. You would probably want to know exactly what vehicle it came out of to ensure compatibility/gear ratio, etc.

 

WASHED IT!
Didn't think that would happen before Feb/March.
..then drove into the mud parking lot at work too fast. grumble, grumble.

 

lol I wouldn't want vacuum garbage if the diff came without it. It's ADD / has vacuum assist but if I get it that will be locked out.

Thanks for the info guys. Much cheaper than a regear if it is in fact 4.56.

 

Much higher quality gears too, heat treated and hardened from the factory.

 

So pinion spins 4.56 times for every axle rotation?

 

Solo had them $200+ off on BF.

 

BF?

 

Black Friday - lol sorry picked up the lingo in that Black Friday thread lol

They do a few sales like that per year.
