looking to swap out my 4 speed 8" rear end with 3:07 gearing to a 5 speed 7.5" rear.... the rear on my truck has been welded, have had no issues with it so its all good to go. rear end has 160k miles. would like to just swap one out or if someone has a spare they wanna sell, let me know. may also look into a 4:10 third as well if anyone has one. located in San Diego.
I have a spare 8" 4.10 rear end. Not LSD or welded. It could be shipped, dunno how much it would run. I wanna keep the housing, but don't need the 3rd.
probably gonna be pricey....... anything that heavy usually hits near or above the 50-60 dollar range. damn....... stuff around here is starting to get scarce.
Wish they made taller gears for the 8". I want legs for the freeway. Living 15 minutes south of the middle of nowhere means a lot of freeway driving to get anywhere.
Find a 4speed rearend for your 5 speed. That should be what you need. His issue is he HAS a 4 speed rearend with his 5 speed and wants more acceleration ability around town. SD, I'd let it go cheap. I bought this for the housing mostly. Or if you wanna pay shipping for both and do a straight trade I'd do that too
If you come past st louis anytime soon....BTW what gear set was in the 5 speed? I've never looked it up or counted it.
yea.... a 4 speed rear will be nice for highway driving. the 4 speed rears came with 3:07 gears. if your motor's got enough umph, it'll pull around 80 mph @ 300rpm's. well weigh it in and let me know. 91910 5 speed trucks usually had 3:73's in em last i had seen.
ill trade ya, what do you mean you welded the rear end? you welded the spiders? If you wanna come check out my rear end and make sure its the one you want ill trade ya. Everything has been swapped on this truck so im not sure which rear end came in it and im not a toyota specialist yet that can just look and know what it is. im also in diego
There's a tag in the engine room that breaks down what it should have. But if the rear was swapped, you have to look at the stampings on the ring gear. They don't say the ratio, but it prints the ring/pinion tooth count. Just divide them to get the number.
Every reference I've read has 4.10 (4.11?) as the only ratio installed in my year of truck, regardless of transmission, though to be totally honest I have'nt gone out and confirmed for myself. I'd LOVE to have 3.0x or even 3.2x gears. My fresh 20/22r hybrid has plenty of oomph to keep me rollin'.
technically yes, toyota has 4:11 ratio's not a 4:10....... we just call em 4:10's for the hell of it....
