Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

That was my first thought but it looks like it's in there *i think*

 

That is Jon

 

I can see the confusion. Jon and myself are both lookers

 

I did not forget my stub shaft

 

No he quoted you and then said your name in the list of names he was naming of people he named for asking the question already

 

Pull the diff cover?

 

A completely new/rebuilt ECGS diff with 4:56 gears and ARB Airlocker was installed as a complete unit 4 weeks ago, together with a complete 4:56 rear diff. Prior to that, we believe the 4WD system was working fine, since @stairgod observed the front wheels rotating under power while he was spotting for me at Rausch. We installed at @TNT4X4 's shop and since @V5ioV was around, he stayed the whole day and helped a lot.

ECGS sent the diffs as complete units, with my cores to be sent afterwards.

When I put the truck up in the air last week, it was to replace the gear oil after 500 mile break in and to test the air locker function per ECGS. That's when I found that the the front wheels weren't rotating under normal 4WD function, but that the DS would rotate when the air locker was engaged.

Matt and Jon both agree that the DS CV and stub shaft both are fine, since the stub shaft and collar rotate when the PS tire is rotated.
The Air Locker should also be fine, because it is the only way that the DS front can be engaged and rotate under power.
Actuator is also good, since it moves from engaged to dis-engaged without any problem.

Could there be anything wrong inside the new/rebuilt clamshell?

 

I've stubbed my shaft a time or two. It's not fun.

 

Fucking A.

I think you guys think i'm a semi-pro mechanic that's been doing this since I was 13.

When in fact, I've been doing this since I was 57




and i'm 57 - 3/4 now

 

Matt's calling them on Monday

 

There is no diff cover

 

Well Damn.

I was just getting ready to finish up my cocktail and go out and pull the diff.

I guess that would taken all weekend.

 

@Blackout14 - I took a quick video with my iphone, can you help me post it?

 

Sorry about that, wasn't trying to make light, I tend to think in process, but pull the diff, there are not that many components, and many have been checked off the list as ok.

 

Nope.

Nothing visually spins. This is in 4H, front locker engaged.

 

Looking at that video I can only think of 2 things

A. Someone forgot the stub shaft
B. Something internal is fucked up with the locker

 

I think I'm the only Tacoma Owner with LOCKED three wheel drive.




I can still out wheel 3rd gens:
@Redmann @Grand dude @BastekFX

 

I might be looking at the pics of the actuator wrong but it looks like it's going the wrong way. It looks disengaged when you're saying its engaged.

 

I think you reassembled the actuator with the wrong timing on the gears.
