02SE - Great info. Thanks KidVermicious - I've actually used that calculator and others and they are all very similar. Like many others I've narrowed it down to the 4.56s and 4.88s and have no problem going either way. I realize at this point it is only a game of +/-200ish RPMs but if the...

Overthinking it is what I do best. Yes, factory tires are the 265/70R16, same as the 16" wheeled 4runners I believe. Stock gear ratio is 4.10 which puts the theoretical ratio to restore stock torque at ~4.39:1. If I was living somewhere in the midwest I wouldnt bother with regearing because...

I apologize for asking about my Tacoma on a 4runner forum but I can't ignore the resource... I am on the tail end of doing my research for differential regearing, having lost too much torque after a lift and tires. My 04 DC TRD auto Tacoma is lifted ~3" and wearing Cooper Discover ST/Maxx...

They got a tranny temp warning light at one point in the show, in Antarctica.

I thought the sensors just sensed whether or not you were in 4x4 and turned on the dash light if they all agreed. It sounds to me like you've been getting 4x4 the whole time but with one bad sensor the dash light cant turn on. With the J-shift TC you are physically engaging the TC, nothing...

Sorry for the confusion. Durk has it sorted out though. I only brought it up because it seems rather often that someone posts about the marks on the timing belt not returning to the install location. It also seems that they have pulled and re-installed at least once. Just trying to save you some...

Draayer, how close are you to my location? Maybe we could have a look, Ive been into the 3.4 that deep before. Feel free to PM

Common Mistake: Thinking that you have mis-installed the timing belt because you rotated the crank 360 and the belt marks are no longer in the same place.

The other vacuum line should pull the front diff back into 2wd. A possibility is that there just isnt enough vacuum coming through VSV to move the actuator.

This guy has a different T-case than you but his troubleshooting approach is pretty organized and thorough. 4x4 problems

If youre certain you have vacuum in one line while in 2wd and vacuum in the other line while in 4wd then it would be time to de-gum the actuator. Being that youre getting vacuum down at the diff means the sensors are working. If you were able to somehow get it into 4wd I might consider swapping...

Vacuum test time. There are two vacuum lines that plug into the actuator on the back side of the diff. One will pull vacuum in 2wd and the other in 4wd. When I troubleshooted my 4x4 I found that the previous owner had at some point pull the motor and smashed a vacuum line in the motor mount...

Just trying to work with what you're putting out. Yes you need to do it again in neutral. With the transmission in P it is going to lock the drive shaft with it. That is why you could spin the wheel and the drive shaft would not move. Which also means that your front diff was not engaged...

Its not a ****ing car!!!!

When you roll your eyes and recover ANOTHER Jeep...
