you can run that third in the front no problem, as long as the gears match. Look at the axle code on the VIN tag. it should say something like R150F/G102. the second set of letters/numbers is the gear ratio.
or is the new third out and on the ground?
My truck was an automatic so it has 4.30 gears, so if i swapped 3rd members i would do both because im sure the V6 would have better gears than 4.30`s. if i was to read the axle/vin tag how do i read it ?, what gear ratio would G102 be ?,and are there other gear ratios ?. the 3rd members would be comming out 90-94 V6 4Runners with an automatic.
