can i install an Aussie locker in a V6 diff with 4 pinions ?or i have to find a V6 diff with 2 pinions ...
can i see pics or tell me some links

 

send ZUK a PM

 

i will

 

no man thats the GF im a dude.

 

oh i thought that you GF drives that toyota
sorry about that

 

its all good, i thought it was kinda funny

 

hey try gearinstalls.com thats zuks site he might have some info for you

 

i tried it he does have one

 

i think it depends on which locker you got, if its for a v6 4pinion or for a 4cyl 2 pinion. idk for shear tho but if im wrong some one please chime in

 

i know that the diff is a 4 pinion

 

man i wish i new a little more about the diffs. ok do you have the locker or are you thinking about buying one?

 

How good are you with a wrench?

Can you say, change a head and cam and get it all back together running?

I did a lockright in my 4cyl rear end and it wasn't brain surgery... I just took an engraver and marked everything and took about 20 pics before I tore it down, then swapped in the locker and put it back together exactly how I took it apart. AFAIK it's still working fine almost 3 years later.


Btw, I hate to do it, but this thread needs more pics of said girlfriend.

this.

 

this link is talking about a V6 with 2 pinions

 

not quite true--he asked if he would need to find one with 2 pinions...
eDIT: from what I remembered all V-6/turbo thirds are 4 Pinion:

'86-95 4cyl Turbo and V6* trucks and 4runners, and ALL '96+ 4Runners use the Toyota 8" 4-pinion differential in the rear. This diff is known as the "V6/Turbo diff."

- Stronger housing than the 4cyl diff
- Larger carrier bearings than the 4cyl diff
- 30 spline axles
- 27 spline pinion (pre-'96)
- Ten 10mm ring gear bolts
- 8mm axle housing studs with 12mm nuts
- 4-pinion carrier (case)
- 4cyl 8" diff carriers (cases) do not fit without custom carrier bearing adapters ($), try Inchworm Gear
- A few pre-'96 V6 trucks and 4runners have been found to have come with the 4cyl style diff from the factory. Nobody knows why.
* LPH/SPH gear info: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showp...3&postcount=73

'96-up 4runner V6 diffs:
- new improved housing that looks the same as the T100/Tundra/Tacoma diff on the outside, internals are all the same as the regular V6 diff
- 30 spline pinion on OEM gears, swap pinion flange to 27 spline to use aftermarket gears

The FACTORY 4.88 V6 diff is unique!
- Axle code G144, white pinion paint code,
- generally came in 92-95 trucks/4runners with V6, auto tranny, 31" tires, and tow package.
- Housing offsets pinion towards ring gear, allowing ring gear to be thinner
- OEM Toyota gears are the ONLY gears that fit this diff due to the thinner ring gear. All other gear sets have thicker ring gears and do not fit.
- The carrier (case) is the same as the V6 diffs, so normal V6 lockers, LSD's, etc. will work in this diff

** V6 diffs are swappable with 4cyl and high pinion diffs



to the OP-if I did not hose my aussie install anybody on this forum can do it
I just followed one of Zuk's write ups...use grease on the initial install two, document your clearances in case you need warranty work. Aussie has some great customer service

 

thank you
