    04 V6 4WD Stick w 60k miles. Code on door jamb is B03A, which I am told means: 8in 4.10 2 pinion, open. But this is for the rear Diff.

    Is there a code for the front diff? I am told the 04 Tacoma SR5 w 4WD has a 7.5in Front diff. However, from 4/04 I am told that the front diff is 8in. There is both an electrical connection and a vacuum hose to the ADD.

    The date on my front carrier says 04/06/28.

    Can anyone identify what I have from the photos & date?

    This would be greatly appreciated.
