rear end traction
notice that when both rear tires are on snow both will spin but when one tire is on dry pavement and the other is on snow only the tire on the snow will spin. is this normal? also tried tapping the brakes to send power to the non spinning wheel, didn't work.

Ok, I do have a non running part truck with a good rear end. is there a tag anywhere on the differential that tells gear ratio and if it is open or not?

ummm, what cover would you be referring to? He would have to pull the entire third member out. Also, as far as I know there isn't a stock toyota truck from the generation he has that has anything but an open diff in it. The tacomas with the TRD Off Road packages have an e-locker, but thats about it. It could possibly have 4.56 gears, but more than likely it has 4.10s

At 20+ years on these trucks, i wouldn't rely on the sticker as to what a truck has for gears, it's what they had. The parts truck I bought said 4:10's on the sticker, he said it was a spartan locker, I pulled the third member out and it was welded and they were 4:56's. Back to the OPS question about his parts truck, If it was me, I'd take the third out on your parts truck if you're curious about what's in it. It's easy to do (lots of good threads with pictures and videos on how to do it) and good practice if you're planning to change yours out anyways, and remove all doubt.

I got build sheet from dealer but it said nothing about gear ratio or any axle data. Will search for decoder as you suggest. Using Android is pain in the arse.

92 auto.... You prolly got 4.33's. Its possible that it has 4.88's, (though, I think that was mostly a 4runner thing, and not a p/u thing) and even less likely, but still possible it has 4.10's.... My $ is on 4.33's tho.

Thanks mill & others.
previous owner did say that front end had a locker installed, woulda thought they'd started with the rear first. Canadian vehicle original.
