Found my rear end problem :D
Haha, so we took the 3rd member off tonight in preperation for getting the new/used one on Sunday. Anyone guess what we found???
Yup, I sure did a number on it hehe . I'm gonna try and make a necklace with one of the chipped pieces; call it a Gear Tooth Necklace instead of a Shark Tooth Necklace haha

Unfortunatelly its the 2 pinion 8" rear and so is the replacement I'm getting on Sunday. However, on Monday I'm getting my 4 pinion 3rd member with factory 4.88's and lockrite

I think I just drive my truck too hard. I've never seen a rear 3rd out of the truck in person before so I don't know. I'm getting tired of fixing it though so I'm going to start driving a little easier. I've got a bunch of front end/steering stuff I messed to fix as well during mudding. About $2300 worth if Toyota fixed it.

nah, that rear end had allot of miles on it. probably got loose (carrier bearing preload back lash etc). if you get one with a good pattern and proper bearing preload, you should be able to be rough with it. i know ive been hard on mine, and there holding up fine.

Picked up the rear axle today and got everything on and bolted down and everything, go to connect the driveshaft. . .and the connections for the ds and diff don't work. Mine are for a V6 and the axle was a 4 cyl; same axle code though. Didn't think about this even though I'm pretty sure I knew about it

Yes, the flange usually has a different pattern.
You can simply drill a new set of holes..
Or you can swap flanges (You need to reset the preload and whatnot I belive..)
Or buy a tripple drilled flange..

That should bolt up perfectly. I've done a few of these and the V6's and 4cyl's are interchangeable. Check again to make sure you've got it lined up properly.

I've got a V6 diff with factory 4.88's and a lockrite coming in the mail today so I'll be throwing that in my truck come this spring after I buy tires and a 4.88 front (still trying to decide if I want it open or locked ). So it wouldn't make sense to buy a universal diff flange when its only going to be on there for another couple months

to change the flange, you don't have to take the diff out or do any adjusting to the internals. just loosen the flange nut, swap flanges, then put the nut back on. just make sure you tighten the nut down to the same spot it was before(so the dent in the nut lines up with the notch in the pinion.)
