Rear end

I have a 2004 Tacoma the rear end went boom can I put new gears in it or do I got to get a new rear end

 

... depends

 

on what went boom.

And what the collateral damage was.

 

Is the ring and pinion what broke? Was it spider gears? Did the housing or bearing caps take damage? Was is just an axle shaft? Did you spin an axle bearing and ruin the tube? Take it to a shop that specializes in differentials and don't waste your time putting it out to guesses.

 

The big gear broke some teeth locked up. How do I know if it's a rocker or a locker rear end and the gears I think it's 410

 

The drain plug came out and ran all the fluid out that's when it went boom it was really hot don't know if that affected it or not

 

Take it to a pro that specializes in differentials.

Be prepared for sticker shock.

 

Wow with your lack of experience at this time .

Maybe a complete axle housing swap might be easier and cheaper

Then being up close and in person is the only way to know for sure.

Pictures would be a great help

 

, when I get it out I'll send you some pictures but that's what I'm trying to accomplish thank you

 

Hope most of it will be salvageable, OP.
