What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Dan says 4.30 is the sweet spot so that gives me pause. I have an ARB twin sitting in a box waiting but I can see the benefit of an e locker too. I'm slightly worried 4.56 will be too beefy as I plan to keep the tires semi-reasonable in the 33 range?

 

Now I have to read up, assuming it's this? http://gearinstalls.com/

 

Yes. I just had a buddy take gears to him, professional is a understatement

 

Do you send the diffs too or just the gears?

 

You have to have the diff sent. How else will the install happen?

 

Gotchya. Only 6h away, so tempting.

 

Guess zuk is out of my option range. Have to send whole rear axle to him? Have to send whole front diff???

 

diff assembly. the housing isnt part of it. ship the rear diff in a 5 gallon bucket

 

Ordered with elocker because fuck it why not. I can save for a house anytime. You saved Black November. I literally got my most important list items done this week. The others are small parts or things that can wait. Thanks again for the hot tip

 

find me a TRD LSD. you'll make my year.

 

Those clear corners are where it’s at. Trucks lookin clean and mean

 

I bought the elocker as well. If the tech says my lsd ain't toast, I'll throw it in the t100

 

This is what I needed to hear. Thank you

I did try the silicone and it didn’t help. You say it was the main thing, what else did you do prior?
I think it’s gonna get the detergent soak, AND the silicone shpray (wordage used in memory of PHM, R.I.P.). If that doesn’t work, I guess I’ll just have to do a full cage with race seats and 5 point harnesses.

 

Shit, I'd think if anyone could find one it's you, Mr. Toyota

 

I wish. Never locally or when I have spare money to spend. Oh well. My stock LSD still works for now after 200k.

but if I ca. Find a TRD unit I’ll go 4.10 gear. I have a front diff already. It’s a slight bump for me

 

I'll be curious to find out which LSD mine has when the locker and gears get swapped in. Either way if it's still good I'll save it for the T100. If it's the TRD Kazumai whatever the fuck, I'll be sure to post pics for y'all's eye pussy's pleasure

 

You used the silicone spray? I heavily sprayed mine and let it sit with the belt extended overnight. It made it better but not perfect. I ended up just having the webbing replaced cause it was all messed up anyways and it fixed the issue.
Safetyrestore.com will also fix your retractor if it’s messed up.

 

like a factory lsd in a trd package truck? Its an eaton, isnt it?

ok, nvm. Found a thread about a kazuma trd lsd.

 

@empty_lord Pulling my charcoal filter was one of the first things I did when I got my truck. It was loose and I really had no idea what it was. It went into the trash and I never thought twice about it.

 

Ideal is 4.10 or 4.30? Or you want the TRD LSD and both you and I don't have it b/c we aren't TRD trucks?

 

4.30 probably bette for the 33s. But I have a 4.10 diff that’s fine. I’d rather save the coin and just put 4.10s in. Little bump


My truck has a factory LSD. The TRD dealer installed one isnt clutch based. I’d rather have it

 

I heavily shprayed it, but immediately wiped it down. Maybe that’s where I fukt up. I guess it’s all about the soak

 

What about this guy?

 

Yeah don’t wipe it. Let it marinate

 

Pretty much the same

 

So OEM would be less than $460? That's the key difference?

 

What, this old thing?

 

That’s indeed the beast

 

As soon as I can find some 4.3's in stock I'll pull my third and bring it all to ZUK. It's been a couple of months and Nitro still doesn't have em in stock.

 

OK, I just re-checked my window sticker, mine came with "LD" == "Limited Slip Differential, but the Nitro is way better? Or my LSD is not the TRD version?

Apparently it was $275 back in the day.
