i have a 3.0 4.56's and 32's and the power is awsome i would recommmend

 

Ive already ruined my 3:73s, so theyre not even in the running anymore. Its just a parts rear end. Im more concerned with my 4:10 right now. It tends to want to lock up on acceleration on turns. My main question is this: Whats the cheapest, strongest way to fix this rear end? Ive considered simply replacing it with another junk yard unit, rebuilding this one, putting a locker in, or putting a spool in. I understand that a spool isnt very street friendly, but i wont rule it out. What would you guys do?

Which rear end do you have 8.8 or 7.5? If it was a 7.5 i suggest get an 8.8. If it was an 8.8 i suggest you find out what happend to it. If it is a simple problem fix it, if it will cost too much to fix get a 31 spline 8.8 from an explorer and swap it in. You will have to flip the spring perches if you use the explorer rear.
Good luck.

 

if i go to 4.56.. i want to 1) regear my tranny for a bigger OD. or do a 6 speed for OD.. mb he wants the extra gears for highway?


thats just me..

 

and if u did break something.. i would stop driving man haha, ur gonna rip some sh*t up!

 

with all this talk about trannies and torn rear ends, of course..

 

Yeah, Its A 7.5 Rear End

 

See Thats What I Was Thinking I Would Want Gears For Highway Use Thats Why I Thought I Should Get A 6 Speed Trans

 

I Thought About Putting A Ford 9 Inch In. What Kind Of Mods Do I Haft To Do?

 

y? i mean what tires r u running and how hard core do u wheel? a 9" would probably be over kill, im no expert though...

 

i would look into prices.. i was even thinking 4.88's but re gearing5th which u never seen on the trail anyways as extremly "low?" or w/e gears that act at OD?

let me know how ur search goes

 

Well On Occasions I Go Out And Play In Some Pretty Deep Mud And I Have Also Drag Raced The Truck At The Strip. So Thats Why I Thought I Might Get A 9 Inch Cause It Is More Heavy Duty. And For What I Do It Would Probaly Be Worth It.

 

Yeah I Search Around And Fine Out Somestuff And Let U Guys Know

 

I Have 2 33x12.5 R16.5 Mastercraft Courser Mt. They Only Have 200 Miles On Them And They Still Look Really Good. Is Any Body Out There Interested?

 

What I Think I Might Do Just For The Time Being Is Get In There And Weld Up The Side Spider Gears Just For A Little Bit Until I Can Get The Money To Fix It Right. Now If I Weld That Up Em I Going To Have Problems Later Trying To Get It Out When I Am Ready To Fix It.

 

this is where i am getting my gears from. good low price and already assembeled. just put it in put your brackets plates back on and thats it. well c-clips too.
