Auburn Gear Differentials for Toyota Now Available at Summit Racing

Auburn Gear didn’t forget you owners of Toyota pickups and SUVs—it makes differentials and lockers to improve traction for most popular Toyota trucks from 1969 through 2016.

Limited Slip Differentials
Auburn Gear’s limited slip design uses cone clutches coupled to bevel side gears and preload springs. As torque is transmitted through the side gears to the axle shafts, separating forces and spring preload firmly seat the cones into the differential case, providing torque to both wheels. When cornering, the side gear separating forces also decrease, allowing the axle shafts to rotate independently, delivering more torque to the wheel with the most traction.

The High Performance Series differential is designed for street and light off-road use.
Applications
• Toyota 8” 1974-2012
• Toyota 8.4” 1995-2005
• Toyota 8.875” 1968-69

The Pro Series differential has a heavier-duty cone clutch and preload springs that react more quickly to tire slippage than the High Performance differential. A good choice for serious trail use, rock crawling, and high-speed desert use.
Applications
• Toyota 9.5” 1998-2007
• Toyota 10.5” 2007-12

Max Lock Full Locker
The Max Lock is an automatic full locker design that locks and unlocks based on traction conditions. It provides power to both wheels like a full spool, but unlocks when cornering as one wheel spins faster. When you’re navigating through extreme terrain or rock crawling and one of the wheels is in the air, the wheel on the ground will receive the engine power and keep you going. The Max Lock is designed for open (non-limited slip) differential cases.
Applications
• Toyota 7.5” including IFS 1986-95
• Toyota 8” 1969-97
• Toyota 8.4” 1990-2007
• Toyota 8.875” 1969-97

ECTED Max Locker for Dana 30
The electronically controlled ECTED Max is a selectable locker with on-the-fly activation. It allows drivers to go from a limited-slip to full-locker differential with the flick of a switch. In addition to being a good choice for race applications, the ECTED Max’s versatility makes it an excellent differential for maintenance/recovery rigs, emergency response vehicles, and snow plow/work trucks. The lockers operate quietly with no shift fork or pins to line up to change the locker mode.
