Uh. I feel stupid asking

But how do you check the gears? I was just wondering what mine are.

Auto with 3.0

 

There is a tag on the drivers side door jam with a number or look at the little tag on the diff cover and tell us what is says and we'll tell you what you have.

 

9368W
73 75 1E18


Only numbers I could find on the diff over. The tag is upside down too, unfair.

 

Maybe 3:73. I have the crappy 3:55's. Wanna swap?

 

you can also tell from the door sticker.

86 87 95 96 and 97 are the most common codes.

Thanks I couldn't remember where that site was. I have it saved on on my computer at home. I'll keep my stronger axle and crummy gears.

 

I figured they were crap.... I am going to have to change those.

 

Katie it might be easier to find a ford 8.8 its a bigger and stronger axle.

 

hey katie there is an explorer axle around me somewhere if i remember for sale, its like 200 bucks obo. disc brakes, 8.8, 4.10 with LS out of a 96 exploder comes with leaf springs. you have to weld new perches, i think thats all.

 

I can get one for alil cheaper. I just have to go see what condition its in.

 

If I had money I would get 'em.

The only thing I can afford right now are the free nerf bars my friend is giving me

 

well ill replace mine and give you my old one.

 

Really?

 

it probally wont be for a couple of months before i do mine.

 

Thats alright. I actually might have money in a couple months if I get this job I had an interview for today!
