found a potential deal on some diffs, i know the rear will, but will the front v6 diff from a 93 runner fit my 4cyl 86 runner

 

i think it will bolt up, but the 4runner diff has that add thing on there i think?

 

anyone?

 

YES absolutely.

 

i'm not sure if the 93 is ADD, will it still work if it is?

 

It will bolt up, but will you might want to convert the add one to non-add by switching the tube(not sure the correct term). Unless you want to put in all the add components

 

i don't want ADD

 

I have one ADD type but I changed the tube from a non ADD front diff.I did the change because of the 4:56 gears built in stock.

 

I bolted a V6 diff in the front of my 4cyl truck... You'll be fine.

 

I have V6 diffs in the front and rear of my SAS truck.

 

You can clamp the sleeve in the actuator and lock it into 4WD. You'll need to add manual hubs, otherwise you'll always be in 4WD. Make sure you plug up the vacuum lines that move the sleeve from 2WD to 4WD mode. I've helped someone do this before and it works well.

thanks all

 

can't i just switch the 3rd's

 

Last time I checked the front diff from a '93 runner was a 7.5" IFS unit...


There is no 3rd member on an IFS diff so to speak. I suppose you could swap the "chunks" out of it but a complete diff swap is the way to go if you're able.

 

I have a SAS truck so I am running V6 rear third members in both front and rear axles.

 

Yes.

I need to inform while I changed tube from regular IFS to a ADD tube I had to add a new seal also because the ADD type didnt have one.

 

Did you read the first post in this thread?

I understand what you have and what you did, but how does that help to answer the question in the first post?

He wants to know if he can use the front diff from a '93 runner which is IFS. Telling him it will work because you swapped a 3rd into your solid axle doesn't do him any good...
