well i have decided to get the TRD LSD since i already have 3.91...but i have a few questions...

1. difficulty of install?
2. install costs? I know its not gonna be cheap
3. whats required for the install?

thank you very much! I hope all of you had a nice christmas!

aloha,

cody

 

anyone have an idea or something?

 

difficulty of install: 8.5 out of 10...

removing it is the easy part... getting a pattern of your current set-up, and then disassembling the assembly, heating the ring gear, adn then mating it up to the LSD is still easy... setting backlash and then re-patterning your gearset may be difficult...

required parts: 2 axle seals, 2 diff side/carrier bearings, pumpkin gasket

install costs: depends on the shop doing the work... typically, shops charge 6 hours....

 

thanks for the help

 

it's not hard at all, shop around for a good auto shop. my pops changed mine out in couple of hours. if you where in cali i would hook you up.
good luck

 

I had mine done for about 3 bills if I remember correctly

 

I got the TRD LSD install a few months ago. I love it. I supplied my own snythetic oil so they did not charge me some marked up$12/qt. I went w/ Redline 75/90NS.

I think my install was about $385. They added some $45 gear kit. I think the gear kit has some bolts seals and washers.. The shop that did mine was an off road shop that do alot of lifts, tranny and diff.gearing.
Every one told me it was a remove and replace nothing else
needed. But I noticed in the service manual they show a few bolts and seals that are "non-reusable"

Make sure you get oil for LSD w/clutch type discs. That why I went w/ Red line w/ friction modifiers(recomended by DaveGS4)

 

thanks again for the heads up! i really appreciate it! happy new years!
