majority of the time i dont hear anything at all. sometimes i can hear a slight clicking when my windows are down and the music is off. from all the posts ive read, the best thing to dampen the noise is to use heavier gear fluid. i believe i used 85w140. when you say it will be for your DD, how...

ya in the future i will definitely use the gauges to make sure the clearance is within spec. but im assuming the shop did that anyways. im not too concerned with it at this point because so far i havent had a single problem, and it doesnt seem too difficult to replace the gear in the diff. if i...

so far i havent had any problems, but i have only taken it wheeling once since the install. it takes a little getting used to when it comes to driving around slowely like in parking lots and stuff like that. the only time where it wasnt ideal to have was when i was driving up a winding mountain...

if youre not in a rush to buy one i would just wait till a better deal than that comes up. thats not a horrible price but i wouldnt want to buy something that right off the bat has something wrong with that youll have to deal with. i have a 92 that i bought two years ago totally stock. the main...

that was my feeling about it. its a driveline and gear shop that specializes in 4x4's. i just picked it up from the shop and everything appears to be working appropriately the way it was meant to. im gonna do a little more driving this evening to get a better feel for how it drives but so far it...

so i dropped my 4runner off at the shop earlier this week and they were able to take a look at it today. the tech called me up and said he thinks it might be that the thrust washers are causing it to be too tight. he said he thinks if he takes them out that will fix the problem. i told him that...

the rears for mine were actually easier than the front just because there was more access to it. mine has the threaded post type mount on the top and the skyjackers i put on have a small rectangular tip at the top of the post. i used a small (6mm i think) wrench to get leverage on it while i...

The thrust washers are still in there per the instructions. I didn't use the feeler gauges because I couldn't tell by the instructions where I was supposed to use them. I wasn't too worried about it because one of the write ups on here said they didn't do it either because they didn't notice any...

yesterday i spent most of the afternoon and evening installing an aussie locker into the rear of my 92 runner 5 speed and after taking it for a test drive i found that it would not unlock at all. i was pretty worried so i spent the rest of the evening searching online for other threads about...

x3, the last person whos advice you take on a fix should be the seller. i had a very similar problem a while back with a blazer. it wouldnt smog, i trusted the seller when they said that it was the cat and not a big fix. long story short i had to take it to the shop multiple times, it never...

yep thats exactly what mine started to do back in December. at first it only did it when hammering on the gas while putting it into fourth, but as soon as id let off the gas a little bit then it would catch and be fine. a couple weeks after i noticed it happening more than once or twice a week i...
