4:88's in

Well I finally changed the Diff.'s to 4:88's from 4:56's. I didn't have a real big choice but to change them. Last Sat. the rear started singing to me about 1/4 way thru a 120 mile trip. I got from a friend a rear 4:88 carrier he had removed from his 4runner to put in and arb set-up for $100.00 and I got the complete front from a local junk yard for $200.00. Changed the rear yesterday am and the front today. Seems to have better take off and takes the hills better but I see no difference in rpm's at different speeds. I wrote down different rpms at different speeds before the change. At the most there may be about 25 rpm difference.
At least the gear whine is gone. LOl

Your engine is turning 7% more RPM with 4.88s than 4.56s.

4.88s with an ARB sounds like a nice setup!
