So as some of you already know the rear axle in my 1990 B2200 is howling so loud I can't even talk on the phone in my truck. I have a friend with a shop right up the road and he was gracious enough to give me a B2000/B2200 axle he's had laying in his shop for a couple years.
Now try to stay with me on this next part.
My axle or third member at least are stock '90 B2200. I know that from when I changed the pinion seal. Some how the previous owners changed the truck to 5 lug and I now know it wasn't a toyota axle swap. My axle also has an ABS speed sensor. The new axle has no speed sensor.
My plan is to just use the new third member in my axle housing so I don't have to redo all my 4 link brackets. So will this new axles third member swap straight into my housing?? Are they different with or without the ABS sensor or is that sensor the only difference between the two axles?? Also what oil should I run in the rear axle?? I've heard 80w90 but I'm not sure if their a better oil.
I'm hoping to swap this tomorrow so any advice or anything that might help would be great.
I just hate to get my axle tore apart and the new one not work.
