Will the Taco diff I have fit into ffYoya's truck?


IF YOU WANT, ffYota... Pay the shipping two and fro, and I'll loan it to you... I have NO IDEA how much it would be... And it's not you'd be missing something or have something of great value... They're pretty much useless diffs.

Nope
 
Ok, NOW I think I get it...

I thought the Tacoma's were the same as the Mini's... It's the TRD, ONLY, right?


My knowledge of Toyota trucks almost abruptly stops at 1994 :D
 
The only 96+ Toyota diffs that will fit into a 79-95 housing are the Taco/4Runner E-locker diff, and the FZJ80 front "high pinion" diffs, locked or open. Nothing else.

To check the gear ratio at the yard, jack up one tire, turn that tire 2 full revolutions and count the revolutions on the pinion.

It is a 97 4runner I don't think its a elocker, from pics on the net of a elocker it seem as though it would be very obviuos and this 97 runner looks just like the V6 pics I find ,,
So it should fit right??

I think im goin to go back over there today and check it out with some tools, a 6 pack :hillbilly:

If it's a 97 4Runner, and it's not an Elocker (will have a motor on the side of the diff) then it will not fit.

OK will a need to find a better junk yard the one in Daytona does not have much there I seen a BIG yard in Jax i'll have to make a trip up there sometime with tools and a 6 pack lol
 
This is a copy and paste from Erik's Toyota Differential info

''86-95 4cyl Turbo and V6* trucks and 4runners, and ALL '96+ 4Runners use the Toyota 8" 4-pinion differential in the rear. This diff is known as the "V6/Turbo diff."

I'll take some measurements If I get to the yard today
 
I've got an idea....

All he has to do is see if it takes a 8 or 10mm wrench to unbolt the diff from the housing...

If it's 8mm it'll fit his. If it's 10, no way Jose...

Right?

EDIT: I just went out to see if my Taco rear was the same. I have a Mini diff RIGHT NEXT TO IT, and they look the same! Upon closer inspection, they will NOT interchange.

i.e do not go by looks alone!
