Getting the Wheeling Fever
Hi all,

I can't find any threads on Gen 1 differentials. I was wondering what ratios, size rings, brands, ect. were used in my truck.

Thanks, J.

The diffs were all Mitsubishi, typical US ratio is 4.625, rarer 4.875. The front gears are about 7.5", the rear about 8.5".

The 4-cylinder Monteros/Raiders/Pajeros have 7.25" diffs up front and 8" diffs at the rear. The V6 Monteros/Raiders/Pajeros have 8" diffs up front and 9" diffs at the rear.

Since I swapped a V6 front diff and axles into the front of my Montero, I have 8" diffs front and rear. Both my rings and pinions are the exact same part numbers.
