Topic: Crush Sleeve?

Is this an origonal crush sleeve?




It looks pretty strong for stock, it came out of a 1982 Pick-up.

No that is an Eliminator you need shimms to get eh preload right.

Thanks

You sure? It came out of stock 3rd.

100% that stock third had some gear work done at some time. I am not aware of the factory using them. I have new uncrushed sleaves I can trade you for that. but I would get some shimms and use it if it were me.

I will be using it, since I am assuming it is like a solid crush sleeve... The only problem is that I need one for my v6 3rd too.

Order one, marlin sells them and can probly sell you the shimms to.

God knows how long it will take to get it shipped to Canada though... I will call them right now.

Wow! Shipping is $24 for a $29 part

Makes you wanna buy a couple for that shipping cost. At least it is not cold up there. Oh wait wrong border.

Its damn cold here! I just finished snowing
I should just move down there, it'd be cheaper!
I can just imagine what it will cost when I buy a dual t-case adapter.

that is a stock solid spacer that came in 84 and down diffs  it will work in your v6  housing.

[1Bad4Runner [OP]]

really!? Sweet because I have 3 more 4cyl diffs that I can use! I will have to use more shims though right?

[IronClad]

yup   just tear apart the diffs and get the stock shims.. yer v6 diff will take a few more than a 4cyl will  due to the different pinion bearings

[1Bad4Runner [OP]]

Thanks a bunch IronClad! This will save me a few dollars! now I can afford that Aussie I wanted

[IronClad]

Cool good to know I thought toys all used crush sleaves. kinda new to toys.

[IronClad]

yeap  pretty much all diffs from 84 and down that ive seen ( mixed 85s some had solid spacers some had crush sleeves)  had solid spacers unless they had been messed with. and usually they stick the solid spacer back in.

 Yes that is indeed a 4cyl stock sleeve, solid axle era. But i thought the sizes between the 4cyl and 6cyl sleeve are different. If you wan't to go with a sleeve on a 6cyl diff don't you have to get a aftermarket sleeve?

[IronClad]

no v6 diff came with a solid sleeve.  You dont have to go aftermarket to run a solid sleeve in a v6 diff BUT you have to run alot more shims for it to work. so it would be better to go aftermarket BUT it will work.
