Blew Up the Front Dif!!!

Well Ive been tryin to figure out what the problem was with my 4wd ever since i broke it on christmas day.... Finally pulled the front diff apart to find the ring gear is missing about 5 or 6 teeth so theres the problem....now heres the question what gears come factory in a 91 4runner v6 5spd? forgot to check while it was apart..... Pics of the diff later on camera is in the truck...also anyone have any idea what this will cost me?

I believe it's going to depend on what tire-size was factory...

I have a 4.56 ADD IFS axle also for sale if you need it. I'm curious - what exactly were you doing when it broke? Usually the CV joints give out long before the axle can be damaged.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I checked a chart like that and it was WRONG!
Those codes aren't worth a damn if they're not right.
I don't ever trust them, its better to check for yourself instead of assuming, throwing some parts in, and then blowing up.

I have seen the chart make a mistake too.
You can get right to the gear ratio by counting the spins on the driveshaft/vs/tire. 4.x turns of the driveshaft to 1 turn on the wheel... done it several times.
