WTT: 4.56s for 3.73s

I'd like to find someone local-ish to swap gears with.

Paid $1374.50 from ECGS + cores

now they've gone up - 30$

4.56s solid sleeve

e-locker/open

$900 plus trade for low mileage stock 3rds and I will help with swap - has to come to me.

rear pinion is barely seeping gear oil haven't heard anything from ECGS -- been a couple weeks now :/

Think they fucked the seal up.

Not many miles on the rear and it's less than a year old. The front is around 2 years old with ~20k miles on it.

3rds are in truck, need to swap everything same day.

 

Make a road trip to Houston

 

Dood, you're like a month too early

 

Push er up a couple weeks Matt!

 

trying, getting a 'big' tire put on my spare wheel this week. Then I'll know what needs to be cut
I'll keep you posted as I'm definitely interested

 

Cool sounds good man!

 

i still have my stock gears from my rear 3rd...would need install pack though...

doesn't exactly help you, but if you need them we can work something out i'm sure

 

Why max why

 

Thanks Bob, I'll keep it in mind.

 

Because Land Cruiser

 

make a trip to VA and we have a deal

 

Hah, sorry dude! You'll have to pay full price from ECGS!

 

Diesel? Yeah!!

 

Damn right Diesel

 

Re: pinion seal leak:

I had the same thing on mine when filling to level with the fill hole with 85-140w. I think at temperature the heavier weight oil acts like a pretty gnarly overfill and pushes oil past the pinion seal. And no, my diff breather isn't clogged, but it is relocated, meaning a longer hose with more air resistance inside it.

You running 85-140? If you are, try underfilling it about .25 quart to compensate for the heavier weight. I did this and haven't had the issue since.

Oh yeah...and why you lookin' to offload your geared diffs? New plans?

 

85 140?? I put in regular 80w90 like Toyota suggests

 

Toyota specs 75-90. ECGS recommends 85-140 for hard use.

 

I'm running 80w-90 because it's cheap and easy to find. Thanks though man, I'll check the level this weekend regardless.

Traded 35s for 33s, trying to take the Taco back to a cheaper configuration and one that may be easier to sell in the future while putting some cash in my pocket now.

...because I bought a 1992 80 series Land Cruiser.

Plans are:
12 valve cummins, NV4500 trans, NP205, 60/14bolt, 3 link/leaves

 

Have fun with the 80.

I'm thinking next build needs to start with me just bending tube and frying it together until there's a chassis there. That's a few years out though.

 

Thanks John!
