I have a 95 T100 SR5 XtraCab 4x4 and recently had problems in the rear differential (the drive pinion was shot, and the vehicle would not move). The model code on the truck is VCK21L-CRSSKA, it is a 3.4L V6 Automatic transmission with a 4.30 rear differential ratio. I was searching around and found a whole rear axle assembly (brakes, diff, the whole thing) that was supposed to fit the truck. We told the people that it was a 95 T100 4x4 automatic with a 4.30 gear ratio, but when we got it and could compare to what we have, there is one major concern. There is the brake load sensing valve that attaches to the axle assembly, but bracket for it is on the opposite side of the axle. My concern is that the axle might be completely wrong and won't work at all, I was wondering if we could just change out the brake lines (as necessary) and weld a new bracket in the correct spot for the load sensing valve and make it work. Without being able to see the vehicle the axle came out of, is there any marking on the axle assembly that might tell me what axle it is? I know that the one that is currently in the truck is A11A, but I got that from the information label on the door pillar. Thank you for any help that you can provide with this issue.

 

There was a production split in those years of the T100. You may have an early or late model axle. If the ratio is the same, just make a new bracket for the LSPV.

 

...or just swap out the third member.

 

True.

Although the LSPV still needs a relocated bracket in this case.

 

Well...since he has his original axle housing still mounted on his T-100...it not be moving anytime soon. Swapping over the third should not change that.
