Assembled 29-Spline 3rd Members for Toyota 8" Axles

Fully built 29-Spline 3rd members using all new parts and ready to drop into your 8" Toyota axle. Third members feature top quality high-strength 29-spline ring & pinion gears and your choice of lockers. V6 units feature larger OEM style V6 gear sets with longer pinion gear. Each unit is setup with solid pinion spacers for long gear life. Trail-Safe 29-spline pinion seal provided at no extra charge. Quadruple-drilled flange covers most Pickup/4Runner and Tacoma driveshaft patterns.

Application Notes: High Pinion units should only be used in front axle applications. Use in the rear axle will lead to ring and pinion failure. Spool lockers should only be used in rear applications. Spools will be harder on axles than a selectable or automatic locker. Fully built 3rd members will not fit stock Tacoma or T100 axles.

RING & PINION BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

All new 3rd members require a break-in period to prevent damage from overheating. Any overloading or over-heating during this periods can cause the gear oil to break down resulting in ring & pinion failure.

• After installation drive lightly for 20-30 minutes and then allow the diff to cool for at least two hours.
• Avoid heavy throttle use during the first 500 miles.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 500 miles.
• Change oil after 500 miles to remove any particles suspended in the oil.

This may seem unnecessary but it is very easy to damage the differential by loading it before the gear set is completely run in. New ring & pinion gears create excess heat when they are new. This excess heat can damage the heat treatment of the gears.
