Is there a 3.90 e-locker?

Does anyone know definitively if Toyota ever put factory 3.90 gears in an e-locker? Is it the pre-runners that have these? I'm looking to swap my 4.10's for 3.90's (I have an e-locker in the rear) but am beginning to wonder after searching if Toyota ever put 3.90's in a e-locker or in a V6 non-taco rear.

You would be wrong.........my 2000 TRD 4x4 Tacoma has 15" rims and a e-locker.

i dont see why you would want to swap down to 3.90's from 4.10's

but you could get some used 3.90's from any other toyota 8" and make them work.

I want to swap down because I have the awesome 3.0! .........Turbo Diesel that is and it has the torque to pull my 235/85/16's with ease. It could use a little less rpm at 70mph. I looked it up on carparts.com and I'll be calling a few places tomorrow, it looks like they did come with 3.90's in them. I don't think any U.S. toyota ever came with a 4.56 e-locker (I know you can get them from toyota separately).

Yes! toyota did make 3.90-.91-.92-whatever e-lockers. A shop I talked to has 2 of them. Problem now is I've kind of decided to go with a 3.73!
