Nope - can't stand them anymore, the smell of them makes me feel ill now...and I think 20 years is enough time for that kind of caper anyway....

Why does my truck not work???

cause it's broke

What would replacing the rear diff do anyway?!

If you already have the ability to drive it then the rear diff would be fine.

Hopefully I'm not - that is my absolute last option...I may have to replace the transfer actuator motor - which is kind of OK, but need to know how - not done much of this mechanicing stuff you see - I'm an office boy don't you know....

not sure why you are replacing the diff mate, i thought you had it to bits and it was fine

Thanks Andrew - I'm looking at the EPC at the mo, and have a replacement switch for the transfer actuator switch so I'll try that tomorrow night when I get home and see if that fixes it, otherwise, I'll have to get the whole motor unit off, and replace that and see if that cures it - I've got a spare - but can't get it off the transfer without dismantling the whole thing....

you have an 8" diff with a 4.1 ratio and 4 pinions (congratulations lol) more diff info here http://www.off-road.com/trucks4x4/ar....jsp?id=274535

Thre rear diff will be 8'' 4 pinion. LSD as stated.

The front diff will be 7.5'' 2 pinion. Both will be the same ratio - 4.1 in this case. Most auto Surfs have the 4.1 ratio.

This page http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/4R_TechInfo.shtml will give you loads of diff info - especially like the colour coding hidden on the diff flange.

OK - opened the motor ( I think) three bolts to open - one side has a geared wheel and three contacts next to each other on the cover - these are all as clean as the day they were made. The other side when I went to open it (smaller rectangular cover - 4 bolts) dribbled what smells like oil over my hand, that also looked a bit water contaminated - i.e. mayo type gunge in it - I closed this as I wasn't sure this was the correct side, or how to refil the oil if I had to.....

Still no joy - although I can hear the VSVs click in time with the relay now - which is nice....

Does anyone have a pic of this and an idea how to open it? If I can do this today and it fixes my problem, I will be THE happiest person on earth!

Surely there's only one motor on the back of the transfer case. Go open it coz this is doing my head in as well. Good luck.
