Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Pukekohe
Pukekohe sits at the southern edge of Auckland on the border with Waikato, around 50 km from the CBD. It is a market gardening and farming town that has grown into a commuter centre, so the vehicles are a mix of farm and orchard utes and daily drivers heading up the motorway.

Common jobs for Pukekohe drivers
Market garden and farm work means utes towing loaded trailers across paddocks and down metal lanes, and that kind of low speed torque is what breaks carrier gears. Hilux, Ranger, D-Max and Colorado rear diffs would be the common swaps, with the odd Land Cruiser from the larger properties. Commuter cars from the newer subdivisions add the usual Commodore rear ends to the mix.
Any mechanic in Pukekohe can fit an exchange diff head. The unit arrives with fitting notes, the ratio tagged on the housing and the oil specification, and the team in Christchurch is on the phone to your workshop if anything about the model needs checking. For a repair to your own unit rather than an exchange, the diff travels to Christchurch on the courier and back, freight free, while the vehicle stays with your local workshop.
Ordering from Pukekohe
I am on a rural address outside Pukekohe. Does that change anything?
Rural delivery usually adds a working day each way, and the courier needs a clear pickup point for the old unit on the way back. Tell the team the address is rural when you order and the freight is booked to suit.
How do I know which ratio I have?
The rego usually tells us. Failing that, most housings carry a ratio tag, or you can count turns using the method in the ratio guide and the team will confirm it.
