How about the gearing difference? is it negligible? Javy

LOL, he is the guy I am talking to, great gentleman. He has both, a Gen I LSD and a Gen II but the Gen II has 4:63 gears and I wonder if I can run 4:63 in the back and the factory 4:62 in the front. Javy

Hey guys, I am sorry that I have not posted any pics of my rebuilt. Everything went smooth and the engine is now working like brand new. I took my time to make it perfect. Here some pics: Javy

Hey guys, Mine is the 90LWB with the 3.0 and it has 4.625 rear axle gear ratios. I found a diff out of a 95 Montero with 3.0 and with LSD that it likely has 4.63 will that work? Oh, I am in Buford GA. Javy

Hey guys, It has ben a while, life got a bit more complicated than usual. I need your urgent help on this project as i need to get it back on the road before July is over. Yesterday the rear diff failed, likely the LSD. The cause? really quick...a few months back a freak accident happened...

Ladies and gentleman, work to rebuild the 3.0L of my 1990 LWB has started. Notice in the pic my 1988 SWB, once done with the LWB it will be next for the turbo 2.6L already sitting in my garage. I want the LWB done first because the SWB is more of my project car. Javy

Update: replaced the solenoids and problem fixed. It took 5 mins. Javy

I like it. You have great skills. Javy

Hey guys, I have decided that after successfully rebuilding the 3.5L on my wife GEN III (I posted the process) I will embark in rebuilding the 3.0L on my 1990 GEN I LWB. It needs the head gaskets and at 350K miles I think it will be better to start fresh and give it a new life. The 3.5L has a...

Hey guys, could it be a leak on the vacuum system as well. When I rebuilt the engine I found a broken vacuum line, I replaced it but I guess I should have done the same with all the lines. Oh well, I switch it to 4wd and drove it around and the light went away but I am checking all the...

Hey guys. Driving the Gen III today I noticed the corny tires 4WD lights started blinking and the heard a grinding noise as if it was trying to engage. I was under 65 mph so I shifted into 4H and it went away but the lights are still blinking. Tried to shift into 4L, went on reverse etc and...

UPDATE: Well, I got a radiator from Rockauto.com and it was to big (top to Bottom) by about 1/2". I returned it, wasting $16 in the process, got a second one also from Rockauto.com, size was fine but it still needed to have the mounting holes modified plus the fad shroud mounting holes were so...

Hello guys, Well, about time, after 33 years the radiator decided to say "NO MORE". Took it to the radiator shop and the core is shut and the tanks have expanded so it is pretty much junk. I have been online and the first piece from Rockauto, now plastic and Aluminum, was off by 1/2". I returned...

Coil, is for my 1990 LWB. Looking to benefit from the disk brakes.

I am looking to swap the rear diff out of a Gen 2 into a Gen 1, does anyone know the year and if it is from the sport? Javy
