I went to the parts store to get mobile 1 for my differentials. When I was telling her which truck I had, she asked if I had the stock limited slips on my truck. I haven't heard anything about them on this site so far, but are there stock limited slips for the 1st or 2nd gen 4runners? If so, anyone know which ones had them, or if it was just an option. And are they any good?


And while I am here, anyone know what fluid (mobile one prefferably) goes into the transfer case. They had the tranny and diffs listed, but not the transfer. They suggested 90 wt for the diffs. Does this sound right?

 

1st and 2nd Gens are all open. No gadgets in the diffs.

 

My automatic tranny transfer case takes ATF, while the manuals take gear oil. Your best bet is to look at the owners manual or a chiltons (or better yet a FSM) to find out about your truck.

 

I believe I am correct to say the following as it relates to my 2002 4Runner:
