oem only!! Just found out that the ring and pinion are oem only!!!! no wonder I cant find one in the junk yard. 1000+ from the dealer.... ouch!!!

bad news Well I took the 3rd in they repaired the bearings ... now the kicker.. they are not able to get the pinion nut to hold ... due to the fact that when my father disassembled it he smashed the pinon threads beating on it with a hammer.... so now ... well I dont really know what my next...

Thanks for all the info!! do I really need the sensor? that is what its what its for. couldnt I just plug the hole? I found a 4wd center that is going to rebuild the 3rd for me for about 300 bucks, since there was no damage to the case or ring and pin. , thank god!! is there any important tips...

I have a 94 4runner, the pinion bearing went, is there any were on the net were I could purchase the punkin' ( pinon, ring all gears and case) assy? been looking havent had any luck , all I found was ring and pinoin sets.... Also the case had a sensor in the top which we had to break to remove...
