    Hello - Does anyone have a reference of a shop in the Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown area that would install a differential purchased from ECGS? The shops I have tried in my area are charging $4600 - $5600 to do the job with them providing the part from Toyota. Thanks!

    @FrankTacoma is it the complete 3rd member?
    Or just a gear set?



    I’d say they can for sure.
    If it’s a whole 3rd member, It’s bolt-in.
    If you can do drum brakes, you can do a differential in these trucks.

    Looks can be deceiving.
    You can't really go off looks any more.
    Smell would be better than looks.

    The viscosity of the fluid would matter more if it's the pump.
    But even that won't matter too much if it's a failing pump.

    Let's not get ahead of ourself. Take it to Pete tomorrow.
    Don't worry about it. Enjoy your 4th.

    If Pete could have done my frame replacement, I would have had him do it. Best mechanic I’ve ever had!
