From Buenos Aires

Inquiry from Buenos Aires
Hi, I'm new in the forum and would like to make an inquiry.
I had some problems with my gimbal center Hilux 4WD 1996 (LN 106 PRMRS japan) and having studied the issue for several months, I decided to cancel it and put a whole cardan from the gearbox to the differential, as is my 1981 4WD.
Many mechanics have consulted those who have told me the reason for the existence of cardan center but could not explain why some vehicles with similar characteristics have it and some do not.
For example: 1979-1983 4WD Toyota Hilux 18R Engine (gasoline) not
has.
1979-1983 Toyota Hilux 4WD Motor L (diesel) has it.
1989-1996 Toyota Hilux 4WD 3L Engine (diesel) and 4Y (gasoline) have it.
2002 Toyota Hilux 4WD Turbo 2TL Japan Engine (diesel) does not.
If someone made ​​the switch to center of cardan with direct cardan, I would appreciate any information.
thank you very much
Carlos

Hello Carlos!

Me and others do not understand what you mean, what you want to do or what you need!!

Cardan = Driveshaft

Send me a private message in spanish to see if I can help you.

Cheers

The double cardan joint exists where either the angle or the axle's movement (again, angle) require it. I would keep it if I were you. Bueno, ?como esta la vida en Buenos Aires? Hace 18 anos que no lo veo. Conozco unos lados, como Merlo, Ituzaingo, Moron, Ciudadela y Ciudad Evita. Pase dos anos alla.

Thank you Lehiguy, I want to eliminate double cardan, as is in my 81 4WD.
Last year I went to Expo 2011 and I saw two Toyotas Hilux Artic Truck, one of them had double cardan and the other single cardan, when I asked them why was the difference, they told me that it was only a matter of packaging (?)
The idea is that similar trucks (similar lenght, power etc) has or not double cardan....
Lehiguy, curiosamente yo trabajo en Ciudadela en una casa de equipamiento de 4X4.....yo soy de zona sur....Banfield, Temperley y Adrogue por ejemplo.
La vida aca esta dificil (para variar) y el gobierno populista que tenemos no ayuda en nada.....
Te mando un saludo grande desde aca
Thank you everybody for the answers......
