I have recently bought a 98 model GXL v6 petrol, but I retained the diff centres from my previous hilux which contain ARB air lockers.
The hilux diffs have 4.1:1 ratio gears.
When I consulted my Gregory's repair manual to check the gear ratios in the Prado, I was surprised to read on page 190, that the front diff is listed as having a gear ratio of 4.100:1, "BUT", page 205 lists the rear diff has having 4.300:1 ratio????
Anybody know if the ratios differ front to back? I know that it could be possible, but would require differing gears within the transfer and this doesn't make sense in a mass produced vehicle.
Searches return the same info that all V6 trucks had 4.3:1 ratio. I'm confused.
