4cyl vs V6 3rd members...differences?
I pose a queston as I'm in the market for a new third member for my V6 '91 truck. I keep seeing posts and ads for various 3rd's with various gears and lockers. My biggest confusion comes in the question of:
"What is the difference between a 4cyl and a V6 3rd?"
What is the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Will a 4cyl 3rd work on my V6 truck? If so would I want to do this?
Any and all help is appreciated. Even if you don't want to answer but rather post links to sites where I could read for myself, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Morphine,
I asked the same questions about a month ago, which was before I swapped in my 4.56 V6 3rd in place of a 4.10 4cyl 3rd. It was a straight bolt in swap.
Here are some links that may help you:

Troy,
Thanks for the info. One question however is the difference between the 2-pinion and 4-pinion? What does this translate to in english? Also would there be a considerable price difference betwen them, since the V6 is more desireable, it seems that it should command a higher price.
Now to continue on - If my truck see's light wheeling, maybe 4 to 6 times a year, and easy to mild trails, would it be a "bad" decision to go with the 4cyl 3rd?
Looking for opinions here, I know no one can give me a correct answer just opinions.
Thanks

I don't know. All I know is that the carrier, and pinion gear for the V6 3rd is stronger than the 4cyl one. Having said that, I've heard that if you plan to lock it, it won't matter, because you'll be replacing said components anyway (other than the carrier).
