I own a 92 2wd 5speed manual single cab pickup 22re with a very whiney differential that must go. I've thought of having it rebuilt but think I just might pull one out the junk yard. My question is......is there maybe a compatible car/truck with factory LSD that will interchange with my truck?
First you need to know what size axle housing you have... 7.5" or 8" You can find out by looking on your vehicle data option sticker on the door jam. You'll be looking for something that looks like this: AO12 The letter "A" signifies the ring gear size. The next two numbers "O1" signifies the gear ratio. The last digit "2" signifies pinion bearing setup and LSD option. In this case "AO12" signifies: 7.5" ring gear/axle housing, 3.30 gear ratio, 2 pinion setup. The Axle spline count are also different between the two. 7.5" = 27 spline axles. 8" = 30 spline axles. Hope this helps...
My truck had the same problem. 92 2wd 5 spd. I got another axle and ended up just swapping the center chunk.
Thanks guys.......I'll keep that VIN# check in mind as I'm searching and if I get tired of searching I guess I'll just grab the pumpkin off another toyota truck.
