Which is the stronger Axel? The TRD Axel or the NON-TRD Axel?
Aftermarket parts have so far been fairly limited for this diff. At this time, the only LSD available is the TRD/Kazuma clutch-type 3-pinion LSD, the OEM 4-pinion Tundra TRD LSD, and the only lockers available are the Powertrax "Lock-right," "No-Slip," and the ARB Air Locker (RD-89). Update- Tractech also now makes a Detroit Softlocker and Truetrac for this diff.
Toyota 3rd's aren't weak for the most part. Just the ring and pinion in the TRD elocker 3rd. The other 3rds have been holding togeather through lots of abuse. Even the weak link in the TRD can be taken care of with a quality set of aftermarket ring and pinions.As a rule you don't want to go as low as 5.71 to keep a strong pinion.
how is all this true about mountin holes being different fron taco/trd shirt when ppl put the e-locker 33rd in their 1st/2nd gen trucks....?im lost here ppl......someone do their homework and put the right info on herrre....
Bigger dosen't always mean stronger! I would say that an 8'' third may be slightly weaker than a 8.4 taco third but the axles are stronger in my opinion. The differences in strength arent comparable enough to justify buying one over the other. When pushing the limits of these axles, apples and oranges still make juice just a little different taste.
