Lux Diff Ratios??

Post by Remydog05 »

Gidday ALL

I have been looking at sites that tells me what Diff Ratios are in what Hilux. Havent had much luck.
Im told from Early 80s to early 90s it was all pretty much the same?

2.4 Petrols were the 4.88??

Deisels were 4.3??? Is that right?

What was the 4.5??

Work out your diff ratio with the fist part vin number and the tag on body which has axle code. Go here and you will find.

yeah had to get a gear the other day for T/belt couldn't get one aftermarket $92 :shock: just a thought. mark tailshaft and wheel turn wheel one turn exactly and count turns of shaft and roughly gues the .3/.5/.8/.9 shouldn't be to hard this is the way i've been told buy a scrutiner that does the V8's when at qld raceway if it's out a bit they know to get them to pull it out.

Well according to this:

the diesels had 4.5

it should be 4.3 but I'm not confirming it. Placard code will reveal all.

W56 is the gearbox code.

A05B is the diff code which means its a 3.7, not sure about the B, could that have been a misread "3"? That would make it a 2 pinion LSD.

Jack up on wheel and rotate it untill the tailshaft does two full revolutions, the number of rotations your wheel did is your ratio. I pretty sure this works.

If your rear is a LSD, then do this to one of your front wheels.

I was under the impression that 2.7L petrol Hilux's were 4.3, I know someone with one thats 4.3 anyway (99 model I think).

My 94 2.8 diesel diff code is G285, this means an 8" 4.3 with 4 pinion lsd. Is the front diff also going to be a 4 pinion? I am thinking of putting in an auto locker in the front and need to sort it so I can order the right one.

Thanks

hey all, i couldn't work out crap from that ratio website. i got model number and stuff (including trans/axle code) but yeah, i couldn't figure it out. i've got an old '85 runner with a 3Y engine.
Trans/Axle code: G52 G142
been told they are 4.8's and that's what i read in the workshop manual, just checking. also would that be adequate for 33's, or is it a matter of "drive it and see" kinda thing??
'85 1st Gen Runner- 31" rubber, 2" susp. lift, UHF. more mods coming soon.
