never herd of a 4.23,,But I think the auto 4 runner came with like a 4.27 or somthing in that range..There a little on the rare side..

i can get front and rear axles with posi traction but the guy said he was pretty sure the gearing was 4.23, but i have never heard of that. is there any way to check.

[mr4x42u]

I am pretty sure he is mistaken and means 4.27..There is a way to check,,,best way is to pull a third and count gears,,ring and pinion,,..There is a way to check by rotating drivelines and tires,,but I've never been a real fan of that..too much room for error..

4.30's are everywhere in 4 cyl auto trucks and runners.  Ive never heard of 4.23's but I had a set of 3.73's once.....

Ditto on what WT said, mid 80s-ish 4bys with autos had 4.30 but that's the closest I've seen.  I'll check my chart when I get home, but if you wanna know what ratios toyota has made you can check at toysport.com.
