    Photogr4x4…. I also believe it maybe problem of the E-brake …but the dealer mention they believe the people who lifted my truck may have cause a issue involving kink or ? This problem did not start till after the lift a few months later…. Not right away…( the lift was done by by a friend & has 30 plus years experience..specially is Toyotas & we were in the same fishing club for many years) …I know him well & I trust him , he works out of his garage…his wait time is always 1-2 weeks he is so busy…and his reputation as one of the best here in Kona , Hawaii..

    I believe the issue that cause water in my rear diff is connected..due to amount of rain, driving thru mud, muddy puddles, dirt when dry everyday…this past summer it rain almost everyday…..…and in 4x4 every single day while on the farm..side of a mountain slope..
    Thank you guys for all your help!
    Aloha

    leads me to next question…Do you use your 4x4 system every single day?

    You wasted $4k replacing a perfectly good diff. Your e-brake cable is under tension due to the lift, causing it to stretch and engage. A spacer block on the cable (near rear axle) will fix your problem.
