Oregon and Washington BS thread

It's seems some runners came with 4.30's and the elocker? Also would a front diff from a t100/early tundra fit in the taco? I've read some of those came with the 8" front and 4.30's too but no elocker. They have the 8.4 r&p?

 

No t100s. They are the same drive train as 1st gen tacomas, 1st gen tundras and 3rd gen runners. At least front diff wise. Run a 7.5" one. will need a 2nd gen tundra or tacoma or 4th/5th gen 4runner for a front diff.

the 8.4'' diff came in 1st gen tundras/tacomas and t100s and 2nd gen tacomas, as well as v6 powered 2nd gen tundras. Its the open diff. NOT the elocker. the 4runners came with a different 8'' diff called the V6/turbo one.

4.30s came with a lot of different trucks. Even 4.56 and 4.88s where factory for some. NOT in 2nd gen tacomas/4th gen 4runners generally though. But im not 100% on 4 cylinder tacoma/runner gear ratios for 2nd/4th gen. I know 4.10 came with 4 banger 5 speeds. But not sure what 4banger autos came with. could be 4.30s. Best way to figure that out is find one and check the gear codes.

Here use this as a good reference. Its not perfect, but pretty close.

here is the key for reading gear ratio codes

Thanks.

 

No wonder why I've seen your truck around Tigard some times

 

what do you have in mind?

 

Looking for a way to change gears with out down time. IE: pumpkin swap.

 

Go through ECGS

 

Kinda looking for cheaper options. I've never done a gear swap. With my older trucks it was pretty easy to find thirds and just swap em and be done. If I could find a rear 4.30 elocker third, I'd be more inclined to pay and have front regeared.

Been a while since I've been to a junk yard. Might find some other things I want too.

 

i wonder how much difference the 4.30's would be vs 4.56 or 4.88

 

Not much between 4.30 and 4.56. 4.30 to 4.88 is a bit of a jump. I think 8 teeth on the 4.88 pinion vs 9 on 4.30. 4.10 has 10 on the pinion.

Only thing I just thought of, is it might be hard to find a reverse 4.30 r&p for the HP 8" front. : dunno:

 

\

ya looking at charts the 4.30 should be GTG with 34's.

I wish i had more experience setting gears or id just shell out the money for a front and rear R&P and do it myself. I haven't set gear since i lived in AK, that was almost 8 years ago.

 

Shot in the dark here, but would anyone happen to have any heavy duty truck or school bus ASE study guides

Took out the Bilstein 4600's today, anyone from here interested before I put them on Craigslist? 22,000 miles on them...

 

What do all you pnw guys think of this grill guard/ light bar. I'm getting a new one because some bitch hit and destroyed my other bull bar, and she's paying me cash. Should I get this or something else?

 

Get a plate bumper

 

I knew someone was gonna say that haha I don't got the funds tho

 

Take that insurance check, and stick it in the front bumper account. What are they going to give you for the damage? If you don't mind me asking.

 

Only 200

 

Ewwww.
