Hi, I'm hoping someone can enlighten me, I'm trying to determine what diff I have in my 95 Taco 4x4.
1. I was told by Marlin that I probably have a 8.4 diff.
2. I read on one forum, the ring actually measures 8", the .4 is something to do with the series or mat'l.
3. I see on one site listings for gears based on 4cyl or 6cyl-nothing about size
4. I see listings on one site for both 8 and 8.4
5. I only see empty housings for 8
The truck is the 2.7, I'm running 33" tires. The stock 4:10 gears are tolerable, but I have a FWC that I know is going to be a boat anchor when I get it on the truck. I do a lot of long distance commuting so I believe I want to go with 4:56 gearing, as not to sacrifice too much high speed.
...not to mention, what's in the front?
