Scuba, that link is awesome! I'm surprised I haven't seen you use it more...

www.gearinstalls.com is a good reference tool for Toy axles too.

Although Google is a valuable source of information, occasionally, info posted on the internet is not correct. I see Scuba posts a lot and certainly knows more than most about our trucks, however, I assume ajoebob came to yotatech for the type of expertise and experience available only here. Just my .02

I did find the reply amusing non the less.
