bought a trutrac 9114445 wont fit the other 1 says works for v6 up 2 95. Eaton told me it should work, but will not. Any advice

 

I maybe totally wrong but I've always been under the impression that if you want a locker on the front axle, you should go with something that can be turned on and off like an ARB or E-Locker. The reason being that a limited slip differential can cause loss of control in certain circumstances (wet or icy roads).


FOG

 

not looking for a locker just something more then open. I nowhat i want to run, just need some info on which part number to use. Im sure some 1s running this set up?

 

its a reverse rotation. So should be same a taco??

 

The Trutrac you bought will work in your 7.5" diff. The '95.5-'03 Tacos use reverse-cut gears so those are different than the '86-95 diffs. but the carrier remained exactly the same from '86 all the way up to '03 in the Tacos/pickups. In other words '95.5-'03 rings and pinions are different from '86-'95 R&Ps, but the carrier inside is identical. Here's some more info if you want to read up on it:

Do u know off any 1 running this setup? My mech said itwas way off from fitting. Does it matter if it has the vac. lines on housing?. It seems like it would wrk but just dont know. Some were i read their was a small bearing version an a large bearing. I have the frnt n apart to regear an dont want to put it 2gether with just open diff, but dont want a arb

 

I think the trutrac part number for the front diff of the 3rd gen 4Runner is 911A342

 

Sorry, I got confused there... There is NO LSD available for the front diff. When you asked if it was reverse-rotation, it threw me off and I wrote that the trutrac would work in your 7.5" diff. What I really mean is, the trutac that works in the rear 8" diffs of the "v6 up 2 95" also works in our 3rd gens because we have the same rear diff as the '88-95 v6 4Runners. Hope that makes sense. AFAIK, KZN185W posted the correct part # for the rear.

 

thats what i thought but ihave seen some rigs saying they have a frnt trutrac. I think a guy named albuquerque somethen said he used to run 1 in 3rd gen 4runner??

 

He must have been SAS'ed or he had an Aussie or something else up there.

 

the part number i posted above is for the 7.5" front diff. the trutrac for the V6 8" rear diff is 913A321 http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Produc...trac/index.htm

 

Well, apparently They do make a Trutrac for the front according to Summit Racing:

It says it's for '88-04 Toyota 7.5" IFS diffs. and that would also jjive with the info from Erik's diffs in which he says the carriers/lockers for the earlier 7.5" diffs still work with the later 7.5"ers.

 

Thats what it says on the box, but wont go. They sent me a diif part numbertrutrac wouldnt work allso . So i think the verdic is they dont make a trutrac for 3rd gen 4runners

 

funny that the summitracing part number doesn't appear in the trutrac owner's manual EDIT: here's the link for the 3rd gen trutrac: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTL-911A342/

 

I have the Tru Trac. Works great. Really shines on sand, snow, ice. Do not listen to people who don't own one. If you tell me how you intend to use it I can share more with you about it.

 

Ok, I knew it was available for the front!
