REAR END SWAP-OUT?

I am looking to purchase a 2006 4wd double cab with low miles, but with a bad differential. I presume the pumpkin leaked the fluid out and it ran dry. I have located a 2000 rear end for only $250.

Will it swap out ? What do I need to know before going further?

The 2000 rear-end is 2.93 gear ratio, disc brakes and no ABS. The seller says the 2006 truck is the same. I found a mechanic who would do the swap for $300 to $400.

Thanks

 

Disc brakes? 2.93 ratio?

 

All 2006 Tundras have ABS from the factory...

If your 2006 has vehicle stability control (VSC) make sure the axle you buy does NOT have a limited slip differential in it (LSD). Good luck.

 

Sounds like a sequoia. Didn't they have the same ratios as ours though?

 

I think all sequoias from 2001-2007 have 4.10 gears.
