axle code question...please
Parting out a 90 4x4 3.0 auto pickup and the axle code is G254. I looked it up to find it has G=8" true. And "25 = 4.556 31" tire option". And 4 pinions. The truck has 31's but the sticker by the door says 225/75r/15. Doesn't that mean the truck came with stock 225/75's? The axle code said those gears had 31's?
My 94 4x4 v6 pickup has a G284 code with the R150F trans. It also has 225/75/15 printed on the sticker. I didnt like the way the truck looked and my speedo was a little off, so i put 31's on it and the speedo is dead on now. The 28 axle code says "28 = 4.300 AT, 225/75" But my truck is a stick, and the code says that 4.30's are autos? I don't understand...
Could someone please help me out?
I would like to figure out what gears and factory tire sizes my trucks came with.
Thanks, Brian

just FYI,
toyota axle codes are not always 100% accurate...(ask me how I know)
Make sure you PHYSICALLY confirm the ratio before u sell or buy another diff

I am parting out the 1990 automatic 4x4 3.0 and I want to be able to tell buyers what gear ratios it has. Since i'm looking up this info already, i am just curious on what gears my DD (94 4x4 v6 manual) has. The code doesn't make much sense. I am already using Toyota.off-road.com. It is saying my 90 auto has 4.56 w/ 31's and my 94 stick has 4.30 a/t 225/75...but it is not an auto, it's a stick. And both trucks have 225/75/15 printed on the info sticker in the door jam. I'm confused, does anyone have an idea...don't want to turn and count outside under the truck...but i might have too Thanks, Brian

I would trust the the axle code on 89-and up trucks. The gear ratio not matching the code was a problem with older trucks.
Also if the truck CAME with 31" tires the code plate WILL STILL READ 225/75.
4.30 gears were NEVER used on 31" tire trucks. How do you check your speedomemter? GPS?

In this thread a couple people mentioned that there is a way to physically confirm gear ratios. is there another thread that explains how to do this? can somebody do a quick writeup on this subject.

And as noted the gear code data is also not perfect:
