Ok, so i decided to weld up my rear 3rd today. got it all apart and then this stumps me. Weve welded 4cly diffs before so i dont know what to do here. Ive never taken the 3rds apart before, so setting up the gearing scares me. And i would just throe a 410 4cyl 3rd in but i have 430s. the other thing is that i dont have alot (like any) money so if i cant mess this up. anyway, whats the best way to get to this? any help would be great. thanks.

so.....what is this thing covering my spider gears!!!

so weve given up on the idea of trying to weld this. cant tack the gears together or to the cross through the windows. if we take it apart and weld the gears there is a VERY good chance that they will not line up when putting the thing back together. soooo im now in the market for a locker or a spool....and some one recommended i get a spool made by durasolid. its cheap (about 70) compared to all the other ones i was looking at that were around 150. has anybody heard about them? Its not a name im familiar with. heres the link

I dont like that write up. He didnt even bother to check backlash or preload. Stupid. Make sure you do both of those if you have the 3rd out.

Im updating all my old threads. This problem was solved like this:

So you have 4.30's with a V6? From the factory? Does the axle code read G284? How come I'm just hearing of this now?

Last question(s),

Where do I get one? Or do I have to make my own? I've got the 4.30 gears, but I was gonna run them in the 4cyl housing they're in with just the V6 carrier(has 4.10's) I already have(via LCE's conversion bearings). But they be around $100 a pair.

rusche

Why do you want 4.30s anyway? Seems like everybody wants to gear down, not up. 4.30s are pretty high, even if your running a 3.0...

MudHippy

4.30's are lower than 4.10's, which came stock with my truck. I have 35" tires and 4.30's with my setup works to my liking. I still get good highway mpg and 4 low makes up for the rest when I'm not. I'm not looking to regear anytime soon, I just want the strength of the V6 diff and/or carrier with 4.30 gears. And it's not a direct ring & pinion swap. There's gonna be setup and/or special parts involved, and I'd rather get one already setup/used for cheap if I knew where. I really only need the 4.30 pinion setup in the V6 housing, the rest I can handle.

What are you looking for? the full 4.30 v6 carier? id say junkyard. And if your soending this much $ on your diffs, why not re gear. 4.56 v6 4runner difs are easy to come by in junkyards... And yes mine are factory, g284 is right!

Id like to go lower, it doesn't crawl to well. in my little dream world after the SAS is done id like to be runnning 5.29s

rusche

I'm running 5.29s and 37s with a stock transfer case, and dying without that 4.7 gear in the transfer case. Its just too high to crawl.

MudHippy

Yeah, I guess I just wasn't looking in the right place for one. I just found some on car-part.com. Trying to cross-reference that part with my 88 didn't show any. Then I tried looking for later models. Turns out they were only on '92 and later rigs. I got my 4.30's out of an 87 4Runner with a 4 cyl and a automatic, G282 axle code.

Learn somethin' every day...

Thanks for confirming that for me!
