Thanks for the info. Very helpful for beginners like me.

 

OK so heres an interesting tid bit. According to the chart on here my truck (a stock 94 T100 4x4 with the 3.0 and an A340F auto tranny) came with a 2 pinion open 4.56 geared 7.5 inch rearend?!

I've searched and searched and read and then for good measure read some more. the axle code is A04A. Which throws me because its not the same type of axle code as the other trucks.

 

Yeeehawwww, .... plethora of INFO! Great job, Kiyo!

 

ive got a 89 pickup 22re 4x4 with 31's. Driving down the highway my engine sounds like its about to fall apart at 65. I know enough to know that that can be detrimental to gas mileage, and i do alot of highway drivin'. I cant tell what gears i have by the label inside my door (the idiot previous owner painted right over it.) does anybody have any idea what gears i might have and what i can change to for better highway driving. I mostly drive on road, but i like to take it offroad on the weekends.

 

If it hasn't been messed with I would guess 4.10's. Find some 4.56's and you'll be set with 31's.

Thanks, ill see if i can find some. I saw somewhere that you can get locking diffs out of a landcruiser. Is that true, and if so do you know what year range will swap?

 

This thread is a beautiful thing! I'm new and until I figured out that switching the search function to search titles I was runnin around like a chicken with his head cut off...hope that helps someone else who reads this
Cheers from your friends up in B.C.
Merry xmas

 

It's a 94 so it should be different. But the axle code should also be B04B, 8"(4WD rear) + 4.30 or 4.56 gears + 4 Pinions(V6/Turbo differential). The A's don't make sense, and I HIGHLY doubt they're correct(should be B's).

 

Hey guys I am noob but i have read this and other forums trying to figure out what i need and I'm still a little confused. I have an 88 runner 3" body lift zuk mod and its on 35's with the 3vze engine. Anyhow its a dog on the road i was looking for recommendations on gears. Also if i do change gears does that mean i only have to change the 3rd member? BTW this and many other threads have been so helpful thank you.

 

You can re-gear at some expense but your really short on power to begin with. Personally I would look for a bigger engine or downsize to 22re with mods. I have an '88 4runner with 33" & 4.30 gears and its not quick or nimble. My 22re with 4.10's is actually a better performing truck. You need at least 4.88's to get some improvement. Throwing money at a 3.slo is not any different than a paper shredder.

 

ok im gonna sound like a noob but i know alot about these trucks. but not much about rearends. i have a 1993 toyota pickup 4x4 v6 sr5 5 speed and my rearend just blew out onme and i needed to know if i can just swap it with a 4CLy rearend case i have one just laying around.

 

yup. whole 4cyl pumpkin will swap in there.

 

alright so i wont have to worry about the ratio being diffrent? FIY the 4cly rearend is out of a 93 extra cab.

 

Didn't say that.

Said it would bolt up. Since its a 4x4 ratio matters and you do need to check that. if they are different you cannot use the front axle.

 

alright that has helped me out.

 

exactly, you have to make sure front and rear ratios match up. but as far as if it bolts in or not, straight swap.

 

alright another thing with its being a sr5 model would that be any diffrent from a standard v6 model?

 

as far as fitment, no.

 

ok my truck has the 4:30 gear ratio what all other vechicles can i get one out of that has 4:30 ratio?
aned again im sorry i dont know very much about rearends or gear ratios

 

ok i have found a 91 mazda b2000 or something like that its 4x4 6 bolt pattern and has a 4:30 gear ratio would that fit
also a 1996 honda passport v6 auto 4x4 in the manual it said it had 4:30 gears witha 6 bolt pattern
