I need help with Lockright Locker
Ok, I just got myself a Lockright 1620 locker for $120.00. I was very happy about it until I discovered that it might not fit my truck. Here is a link to the locker I actually won on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT
This is what I need help with; I'm confused with what type of rear end my truck actually has. Yes I could take it apart and see, but right now I'm down to one car, so that is not an option for now. Anyway The locker I got uses the the 4 pinion carrier cross shaft pin like the one on this picture:
My truck is a 1997 4Runner SR5 V6 2WD. with Gear code "A03A". I got the code from my truck's VIN # plate. This code, according to this website:
http://www.brian894x4.com/Gearratiosanddiffs.html
This website suggest that my truck has:
A = 8" Diff
03 = 4.10 ratio
A = 2 Pinion, Open Diff?
Now, here is where it gets confusing: on this website:
http://home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/#v6/turbo
It claims that all 96-up 4runner's all came with this type of diff:
Now will the Lockright 1620 locker works with either a 2 pinion carrier and a 4 pinion carrier as well? Can some please explain to me what diff carrier my truck actually has? Is it possible that my 1997 4Runner could have come with a 2 pinion carrier from factory? Thanks in advance!!!!

Thanks "xxxtreme22r", I've seen that document before. I've only asked because if I follow the axle code that the Vin # plate has, it claims my truk came with a 8" 2 pinion carrier open diff. But according to "Singtoe" my truck has a 4 pinion carrier.

I little update, I took some pictures my truck's axle:
To me, this axle looks nothing like the 4 cyl 8" or V6/turbo differential when compared to the picture below; the picture below was taken from "Erik's Toyota Diff info" website:

Can anybody identify what axle is this?
