thank you!!

I recently installed an Eaton front locker and am trying to place the switch. Ideally I would put it where there is a blank as shown in the attached photo but the opening is a little small. Where do folks normally place these switches and could I route out the opening or would this look funny...

Still for sale?

Looking for a 4.3 r&p from a front diff from a lx470/lc100 Thank you!!

Whelp. Pulled and opened the diff...

I only drove it about 25' in the driveway (where it broke) into the garage.

Pulled both cvs and they both look fine. Next steps? Can I disconnect the front driveshaft and try and turn the flange on the diff to see if I hear or feel anything weird? Remove the diff and take to stop or pull apart on my bench?

Already have it up. Left cv looks fine. Diff fluid came out clean. Is there a way to test with one or both cvs out?

It'd a 1999. I have cheap cvs in there now and have oem axles on their way. Gonna pull both cvs and go from there.

I have a drivetrain clicking and acts as if it's in 2wd. Spinning out on ice. Never felt anything break...

as a follow up i purchased all oem parts to do the timing belt, water pump, fan bracket, fan clutch, new hoses, heater t's, new radiator. the noise and wobble have seemed to go away.

any comments on the ASIN vs OEM Toyota water pumps? The ASIN pumps seems to have review that indicate they fail at a high rate and the OEM look like they are Made in China. What do folks use and is there a source I should consider?

no but I have a stethoscope and new fan clutch coming next week. Sure sounds like its coming from the fan. will do ps flush and new belt this weekend but suspect the fan If the fan clutch doesnt fix it ill probably just do the timing belt/water pump etc and replace it all at once. -

Good idea. The four nuts that tighten down to the blue plate that attaches the fan/fan clutch to the fan bracket are tight enough to turn the belt when I try and tighten them down anymore. They were not loose.

I took a few more videos and the fan is definitely wobbly. Will replacing the fan clutch do anything or is this the bracket bearing? thanks! -john
