What ratio is my rear diff?
The number of driveshaft rotations will help you determine your rear axle ratio. For example, if it turned 3 and a half times, it’s a 3.50:1 ratio. If it turned 4 and a quarter times, it’s a 4.25:1 ratio. For better accuracy, turn the wheel 20 times and divide by 2 for your rear axle ratio.
What diff ratio do I need?
Differential Gear Ratio determines the number of times the drive shaft (or pinion) will rotate for each turn of the wheels (or ring gear). So if you have a 3.73:1 gear ratio the drive shaft turns 3.73 times for every turn of the wheel. Lower ratios are generally desirable when going off-road.
How many Litres does a Hilux Diff take?
Once you replaced the drain plug you can start to refill the diff. Most diffs for small vehicles like a bakkie will take roughly between 2 and 3 litres of oil. Most Hiluxes takes between 2.2 and 2.3 litres.
Can you tell gear ratio from Vin?
While it may be possible to derive information about an auto’s gearbox ratio from its VIN, that depends largely on the information the manufacturer includes in the vehicle descriptor section (VDS) of the VIN.
What gear ratio is best for fuel economy?
For instance, a 3:31 gets better fuel economy than a 3:73. On the other hand, a 3:73 or perhaps a 4:10 will tow much more, while fuel economy greatly drops. The most popular rear end ratio in trucks today is the 3:55, which sort of averages towing power and fuel economy.
How much oil does a HiLux gearbox take?
| System | Capacity (l) | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Manual transmission | ||
| 5MT 2WD | 2.6 | Toyota MT gear oil GL-3/4 75W-90 |
| 5MT 4WD | 2.2 | Toyota MT gear oil GL-3/4 75W-90 |
| 6MT 2WD | 2.7 | Toyota MT gear oil GL-3/4 75W-90 |
Can you change the gear ratio on a truck?
You can change the axle ratio, and you can do it rather easily. Quite a few members here have gone from one ratio to the next. People with 3.21 and 3.55s are going up to 3.92 and even sometimes 4.10. A lot of the 4×4 trucks you see here with lifts and larger tires have gone with 4.10 or 4.56.
Is 3.25 a good gear ratio?
3.25s are a good all around gear.
What’s the diff ratio on a Toyota Hilux?
In conjunction with that, across the top going across is a list of available diff ratios for the Hilux.
Where can I find just differentials for a Hilux?
Just Differentials in the US (see http://www.justdifferentials.com) list some thick cut gear sets that fit into the Hilux standard Diff carrier and would be useful if you already have a Hilux Locker in the front you want to retain well it is pretty simple really.
What should the after ratio be on a 4×4?
Calculating for the after ratio of 4.88 gears and 38 ” tires gives the RPM of 2805. To sum it all up it can be handy to use this table for both your front and rear axle gear ratio selection. It is based on the above formula.
What’s the stock ratio of a Toyota differential?
If your differential has been removed so that you can see and count the teeth on the gears, you can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion gear to come up with their ratio. For example, 41/10 gives you a 4.10:1 gear ratio (the most common stock ratio).
