A few fun facts: The platform code is called the D41US, Similar to how the D21 trucks of the early 90’s progressed into the D22, the D40 truck has progressed to the D41US. This is an american only truck whereas the D23 platform was the next step from the D22 sereis which was only released outside of north america, a few years ago.

Many pathfinder owners got excited when ARB released their air locker for the R230 rear differential of the (R51) 2005 – 20012 Nissan Pathfinders, until they realized that there is a carrier split and the locker isn’t compatible with our U.S. models. Just in case you’re new the drive train world I’ll explain the problem in a nut shell. Inside your differential, you have 2 gears that must mesh together properly, a ring gear and a pinion gear. the ring gear is bolted to a part called a carrier, which in this case is the locker itself. When installing a locker, the installer must adjust it’s position to hold the ring gear in the proper place so the gears mesh properly. (Are you still with me? This should all make send in a moment) Larger adjustments of the carrier or locker position will need to be made when making more drastic gear ratio changes and in some differentials there simply isn’t enough adjustment to accommodate all ratios. In these cases, you simply need to get a different carrier or locker to hold the ring gear in a different position where you regain adjust ability. (I hope that all makes sense, and if not I’d be more than happy to explain it further if you contact me)
