Yup - gut instinct says gear mismatch
Its pretty easy to tell- even the difference between 3.91, 4.10, 4.30
3.91 - just shy of 4 complete turns
4.10 - more than 4 but less than 4-1/4
4.30 - more than 4-1/4 but less than 4-1/2
4.56 - just over 4-1/2
I always physically, manually verify gear ratios via spin & count method or count.
Here are some stories.
Friend bought a used 4wd Tacoma - THe Orig owner (very meticulous) bought a complete assembled LSD rear diff from the toyota dealership- He gave them VIN # and even told them he had 4.10's.
Dealership sold him a 3.91 Diff.
Even one of the Yotatech sponsors worked out a deal on what he was told were 4.10 E-locker complete rear diff & axles. His Toyota Supplier Sent him about 30 4.30 complete e-locked rear axles.
