Depends...why won't they fit? What application are they intended for, and what application is his 3rd?

V6 4 runner?? If so, you (he) needs V6 gears. I have heard that you can make 4 cyl gears fit just fine by shimming the pinion alot more.... But I have never done it, just heard about it.

I've done that many times, it works great. The only thing I can think of that would make his parts not work is if he has a 4cyl third and V6 gears. Waiting for the reply with the info....

You are right.

 

[mwmx54]

the car is a v6... how do i tell the difference between the two?

 

[mwmx54]

they where sayin somethin like the gears are to big to fit in the housing, is it possible?

 

[notajeep]

Car??? Are you sure that this is an 8" third? If it came form a CAR then it will be a 7.5" third.

 

[mwmx54]

k, its a forunna.

A v6 thrid member has 8 fins on it, a 4 cyl. third has 6 fins on it, 3 on each side.

 

[mwmx54]

why would a v6 runner come with a 4 cyl dif?

 

[Kiel]

I bet you might have gears for a rear 8 inch, but might be trying to put them in the front 7.5 third. Are they working on the front third or the rear?

Cuz sometimes they did. No reason, but since they both bolt in the identical housings, I'm guessing sometimes the factory used what they had on hand. You can get 4cyl trucks with the V6-style third as well sometimes.

That sounds like the most likely scenario right there. He bought a matching pair of 8" R&P's.....

I'm a third member Detective

 

[mwmx54]

so i can get a v6 third and put it in his rear axle?

 

[Kiel]

yes
