Need a Spot
While enjoying a 70mph trip down the tollway on Friday I nearly got thrown through the windshield by my rear end which had locked up. Long story short when I hot it to the shoulder the rear end unlocked and I was able to cripple it to a parking lot where I dropped the rear shaft, locked in my front hubs and drove home. I havenÆt actually taken the housing apart yet but there is ?ö play in and out on the yoke and over ¢ö play when I twist it. Other than this truck runs great.

QuestionÆs:
1. Anyone interested? Make an offer?
2. Where can I buy reasonably priced rear end parts?
3. Do you think I should replace the whole rear end?
4. Why are women so confusing?

Year: 1994
Miles: 218,000
Model: Hilux Ext Cab
Motor: V6 3.0
Suspension: 3ö Lift
Tires: 33ö KumoÆs

Thanks for your help guys.

[color:"blue"] aaawww keep it its a toy!!!! [/color]
2. Where can I buy reasonably priced rear end parts?
[color:"blue"] Junkyard / Ebay your probably running 4.10 (check for sure..) [/color]
3. Do you think I should replace the whole rear end?
[color:"blue"] Remove locked up diff - give a feel around for any teeth or shards of metal, insert new diff fill with gear oil. (now a good time to replace seals if needed..) [/color]
4. Why are women so confusing?

Need a Spot
Any Leads on where to get a 3rd member here close to Dallas? I am ok with a 4cyl pumpkin. I tried to look on Pirate4X4.com but you have to pay $20.00 a year to use the search function and there are like 25,000 post so I could build a truck from the ground up quicker than reading them manually.

I am hoping to stay under $200.00 including shipping.

According to my plate codes I have the following.

8" Rear End

4.556 Gears (If I understand my code "G254" correctly this 1994 V6 5-speed Manual truck came with a 31" tire upgrade which makes it a 4.556 gear ratio)

4 Cyl. (Pinion) (I am ok with a 2 cyl.)

Try www.car-part.com for local junkyards. I haven't seen any 3rd generation trucks up for parts in our for sale section lately. Post up in the parts wanted section to see if you get any leads.

This should put you in the ballpark. Usually, shipping costs are very reasonable thru car-part.com
