Definitely going to keep it toyota. Not sayin i dont love chevrolet. But besides that i dont wanna tear the hell outta my axles from all the extra torque. Unless i went to Dana 44s i dont think i wanna do that personally. I think the 3.4 swap is worth the extra effort myself... just my opinion tho

From what I hear the Toyota axles are actually stornger then the Dana 44. But I know what you mean. You would never catch a Chevy engine under one of my hoods.

Ok, so iv got all the EWDs for both trucks now. Looking them over carefully.. looks pretty intimidating at first. Its starting to make sense little by little now tho.

I might be getting laid off from work shortly... so i might have to put the swap on the back burner for a while until i get things sorted out. Hopefully that doesnt happen...

I stand corrected. I deciphered the VIN for the tacoma and it is in fact a 1995.5 not a 1996. But thats ok... iv already downloaded the EWDs for that year anyways. The manual that came with the truck says 1996 on it.. but the VIN never lies. So im off to find another ECU lol. So far iv found alot more stuff pertaining to the 1995.5 year.. things are looking up
