4.6 gears

Post by turps »

Doing abit of research. Whos running aftermarket 4.6's. Cos I see they are about $550 an end plus fitting. Just wondering how they will last in a daily driver.
As I have heard storys that they dont last in the rear. But they are those 3rd hand storys so dont know the full story.

If thats all I will getout of them might try and find some factory rears and get aftermarket fronts. As even though it want be a daily driver soon it will still probably do about 20 000km a year.

Still cheap 2.5 times for factory that still can break and wear out.

What make of aftermarket gears are these? I will be looking at gearing soon as well.

Why only 40,000ks out of the gears? What's wrong with them?

Try linquip that do the V8 Conversions. they had 'numerous' a while back..

Im going to go with 4.3's if the bloke gets back to me. He also has genuine 4.6s forsale, I'll ask him if its ok to give u his details. 4.6 will suck on the road with 33's.

All of the aftermarket gears come out of Italy.

Nothing is wrong with them. They just become noisey after lots of kilometers.

Not upto OE specifications.

30,000 in a comp truck would be years!

30,000 in a daily driver isnt :(

I'm going to be looking for durability and reliability with 35s. Looks like OE will be the only option.

I plan to do a lot of travelling / touring in my truck.

Bruce, If you could PM me the details as well it would be much appreciated.

Cheers, JK

Seen genuine ones break with under 10,000 kays on them. Make up your own minds or put up with the noise on aftermarket ones after quite a few kays.

I new I should have stole them out of a bloke from works navara, bugger.
Might go with the aftermarket and look for a factory rear later on. Just see how they go.
As for strength they arnt an item that just goes bang, they get noisey first do they?

I forked out for factory ones in my GU and have just turned over 95,000kms - swapped them in pretty much on day one and they are still going strong.
I'm not very good looking, so I guess I better be useful . . .

Bruce, a drop out members is the whole lot. Take tail shaft off, unbolt thrid member from axle houseing and there you have it. It includes the houseing, diff center and CW&P.
This is right isnt it Bazzle.
