Outer Limits 4x4 Board

4sum4 what modifications need to be made to make the lockers fit.
I am aware air lines etc would need to be fitted but will there need to be anywork done to the carrier or side gears?

can anyone tell me if a diff centre from a HJ47 will fit into a LN106 Hilux?

Alternatively will the air lockers from the Cruiser be the same as the Hilux?

I have a workshop manual here for an LN 106 which should have the same torque wrench settings. It lists the following settings:-

crownwheel to differential case nuts 97 n/m
carrier bearing cap bolts 78 n/m

hope this is some help

I work in spare parts and today checked the genuine toyota parts books , the Hiluxes from 1988 to 1998 came with either 4.3, 4.5 or 4.88 diffs the 4.1 ratio is used in landcruiser diff centres which some models diff heads will fit into hiluxes. The 4.5 and 4.88 ratios were usually used in ...

As I have had it explained to me by a diesel specialist . The old oil I was using was a 20/ 50 oil and was too thick for the 2.8 motor it sludged up and was drawing horsepower so to get to 100 i needed more revs.

I dont know how accurate that assesment is but it does make sense when ...

Is that an original diff or an after market replacement .It appears to be more the ratio suited to the petrol hilux.

I have just started using Fuchs ultralube 15/40 diesel in my 2.8l hilux and it seems to be running a lot freer. I have done 4000 klms since the last change and have noticed I reach 100 klm/hr at 200 less revs. which must equate to better fuel economy or more power.

If you drop your tailshaft and look on the head of the pinion where the nut goes on there is usually the number of teeth stamped on the pinion. It will look something like 7/32 which stands for 7 teeth on the pinion and 32 on the crown wheel . Divide 32 by 7 = 4.571 ratio. Not all manufacturers ...

It is normal practice to reset the preload on the pinion when replacing bearings the slight difference in manufacturing tolerances can affect the mesh of the pinion with the crownwheel. You may need to add shims to adjust the depth properly in this case considering the time taken for you to pull the ...

With Leaf springs one eye has a military rap. It is an extra long leaf which coils around the eye further than the other end eye.
usually this eye is always placed on the fixed pin as a safety feature. In the event you break a main leaf the diff would swing forward or rearward on the shackle but ...

This is certainly a thought provoking thread. After reading this and thinking about it for a while I just thought Imight add my thoughts to the discussion.

I am wondering if more than just the torque effect of the motor, drivshafts, and body flexing that is at work here.

On drag cars when the ...

Doeas the vibration appear to show through the steering wheel or is it more seat of the pants.

If its through the steering check for front end or wheel problems if its seat of pants check for drivline problems.

On my 81model RN 46 lux I was running 31X10.5X15's Kuhmo Powergaurds and they were fine any larger and they will rub on inside of gaurds when turning. also 81 model hiluxes didnt have very powerful motors so if you go too large witout modifying the engines the tyres will pull too much out of the ...

Hi Macca

Have you checked to see if the handbrake cable is releasing properly on both sides. I had similar prob in my 81 hilux one sside was binding which meant the shoes were partly engaged all the time so when brakes were applied that side grabbed first. also check condition of rear shoes ...

Shadow is on the right track here.
In my previous employment with Dana Spicer I had occasions to rectify vibration problems in Heavy trucks. Danas schooling on driveline alignment was always to work with the output flange of the gearbox and the input flange of the diff within 2 degrees of each ...
