130 fender specs

[nayto]

Hi all, just been searching up some 130's for sale. Is there any major changes in the drivetrain in the utes from 2000 to 2004? Iv seen a few in that price range and dont know much about each model specifically. Thanks in advance

Only a rear diff change, went fron unbreakable to not so unbreakable. Not sure of year maybe 2003??? I am sure some one will be here soon to let you know. But that is the only change i am aware of. Oh except for flashable and not flashable ECU. Again not sure what year they went to flashable. Sorry not much help. But keep these things in mind.

Cheers Jim

My 130 has the salisbury diff (stronger) and had the non-flashable ecu. Its an 01 model.
The 02 models had the flashable ecus, but not sure when the change to the rover diff happened.

Ok ill keep my searches down to 2003 models and older than, price range was limiting me to around that model anyway. Are the later model diffs really that weak? Would be a shame having to upgrade a complete diff when u buy a new car. Whats the axle code for the stronger diff?
