You sure it's a 4.30? Counted the teeth?
I got half a dozen 4.10

according to the original code on this one owner truck (dad) it's a 4.30. I had a guy PM me from Illinois that said he had a good one for $50+about that in shipping. I just contacted him so we'll see.
If that doesnt' work out I may have to come get a 4.10 from you to be able get around for a couple weeks. I'm sure I'd look funny with that PIG strapped to the back seat on my old Goldwing but who cares!
Thanks again, Wab, I'll let you know.

Wab, is there a list somewhere or a site (I checked Zuk's) that will tell the ratio from the # of teeth? would be great to have a chart of some kind.......
Thanks!

REALLY hope that what I found there aint right....................
Guy sold me a pig that he said was a 4.30 but the ring gear is stamped 41 (yeah, I counted them and it has 41 teeth) and I think the pinion shaft end was painted pink (not sure though).
It's in the truck because I HAD to have something but if this isnt a 4.30 I can't use 4WD.............

Well thats the best info that I've found... I'm sure their is exceptions... both my front an gear diffs were painted pink... an they are 4.10s... I know you can jack up the truck an turn it an count the rotations. It walks you through the processes on this one... An it he also says the color an vin code is not always right.

So my advice... turn the wheel an count gives ya a pretty good guess... pull it an you'll know for sure.... But ya, I wouldnt use 4wheel till ya know... unless you are stuck... if its mud or snow; front tires spinning faster or slower then rear shouldnt hurt anythin. as long as they are not gripping!
