Locker troubles
« on: Nov 12, 2012, 04:44:08 AM »
Hello, My rig is a 97' 4runner 3.4 5 speed. acquired a used Detroit style locker that was out of a 80's 4 cyl diff/carrier. Went to install it and realized after pulling the hog out that the v6 diff's have a different carrier and bearings so i could not put the locker into my hog. So now my  issue. Getting my hands on a 4 cyl hog probably wont be an issue but i did the math on my diff and realized that i have a 3:90 gear set. Now assuming that i wont be able to find a 3:90 gear set out of a old 4 cyl very easily , i am wondering if the crown gears are interchangeable between the 2 styles of differential, If they are then i could just slap my crown on too whichever 4cyll hog i find and keep my gears the same, don't really want to run 3:90's front 4:10's back. Help would be appreciated! i want too get wheeling

www.gearinstalls.com do some reading might be able to find the answer there my solution would either be A. sell the 4cyl locker and buy the correct one or B sell the 4cyl locker and just weld it.....if its in the rear weld it
88 xtra cab pickup solid axle swapped 5spd swapped 4.7 swap turbo 15psi swapped = rowdy

You can find 3.90s with not to much searching. Post up a wanted ad on here and pirate, I'm sure some will pop up.
