Rear Differential E-locker question/issue

I just got in a e-Locker with 4.30 gear ratio and I currently have 4.10 gear ratio in the truck. I want to change out the 4.30 gears and put in a 4.10 to match the front diff but want to know if I can use any 4.10 diff or does it have to be a 4.10 diff from another E-locker differential.

I read on Erik's Toyota Differential info the following:

Toyota Electric-Locking Differentials (top)

Electric Locker


A factory option on 3rd Gen. 4Runners, Tacoma 4x4's, and Tacoma PreRunner 4x2's is an electric locking rear differential. This diff is a 4-pinon design based on the Turbo/V6 8" diff and uses the same gear sets and bearings (except for the large bearing near the locking mechanism).

So I hope someone can shed some light on this, thanks Tman


PS. if anyone has a 4.10 rear diff they don't need that will work for my situation, please let me know, thanks!

So a standard 4.10 diff will not work, it has to be a 4.10 out of a elocker diff? Whats the difference? Thanks
