Well, I posted a thread on my problem with my rear differential, and my brother Sam (http://www.samsonfab.com) and I found that there was a broken tooth and 2 chewed up teeth on the pinion gear. Pictures posted here:

We have since put in a differential from a 1992 4runner V6... btw, can anyone tell me what the electric plug on that differential does? I just hang it out of the way because I dont have that function available in my 1989, but I am just curious.

Thanks guys!

Is the plug on top? That would be for an ABS sensor.

 

yes, the plug is on top.
