Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just killed the diff in my hilux and need to know if the ratios in a 88 with a 2l diesel are the same as a 93 with a 3l deisel?

there all differnt even same year hilux have different ratio diffs u will have to count the ratio

The 2L will be 4.5 ratio and the 3L will be 4.3 ratio if it is still standard.

If you check the trans/axle code on the compliance plate you can work out what ratio diffs your running
Provided no-one has already changed them from the original factory ratios
Codes should be the same for the same ratios regardless of what year the vehicle is
Theres a list of axles codes on http://www.toysport.com/Technical%20Inf ... ations.htm

If its G252 for the transaxle code its an open 4.5ratio which was pretty standard for the 2L's.

I've got 4.5 diffs standard in my LN166R 2003 3L (2.8litre) Hilux

But then again my Lux was designed for a different market region

these diffs are hard to find and expensive in nz $400

You kiwi's must be too rough on them and keep busting 'em
400 bucks eh. Dont worry some wreckers over here are charging that or more too for hilux diffs too.
I've got a complete 4.8 diff, 10 bolt for sale (no axle housing etc). What are they asking over there for them?

hard to say depends if anyone needs them the demand for 4.8s is to high for seacond hand ones now and there are chromoly crown wheels and pinion avalible quite cheap but u should still get 300-400 depending on lsd or open
