i want to order the Powertrax no slip Locker from Summit Racing ,not sure
about part number,my truck is a 2008 ranger sport 4x4 3.73 open diff.
28 spline 8.8 the part number that i come up with is 92-0688-2807 this is
from year 1987 to 2001 but mine is a 2008 ranger is this the correct locker
for my truck, thanks you guys are the best ,

 

all 8.8s that are in rangers except the fx4s are 28 spline. it will fit.

 

Most aftermarket part manufacturers dont update thier year compatibilitys til too late. Yes....If it's for a Ford 8.8" 28spline, it'll fit your axle.

 

thank,s you guys on this forum are the real deal. is there anything you guys
don,t know about the Ranger, thanks again

 

idk keep asking us questions lol

 

The knowledge on this forum doesn't end. A lot of us can answer almost any question!

 

Yet alot of us can't answer any question as well. lol. I'm still learning.

 

yes you are right, the amount information you guys have on this Forum is incredible, i also would like to know after i install the locker should i use a gasket or R.T.V silicone for the diff .cover and do the bolts have to be torqued . Thanks Again.

 

you can use either one and they get torqued to like 35 lbs or something low like that. If you use the RTV get the red its the strongest if i remember right

 

First and foremost....you should have someone knowledgeable with differentials do the install. You are changing the carrier.....with changing the carrier, you need to check the backlash and the tooth meshing of the ring gear and pinion gear....moving of the carrier left or right may be needed and requires the use of shims. This requires special tooling and previous experience. You dont want to roast your teeth and fall apart in chunks because of improper install do you?



I use Copper RTV silocone....color of the silocone really doesn't matter at all....it's all the same stuff.


You want to lay a thin bead like pictured, then start the top bolt. I like to tighten from the top down. Top hand tight, then the next two, the next two below that, and so on. then go back and give it a 1/2 turn in the same order as the prelim tightening. Idk why I do it, it's just how I've always done it.

 

Ummm you dont change the carrier when installing the Powertrax No-Slip. It replaces the spider gears. Also that is the correct part number. I had the same one in my Ranger. You can do the install your self. Its easy.

 

The color of the RTV does matter. Each color is made for different temperatures and different uses.

 

oopsies...idk what I was thinkin....i probaby was thinking detroit. lol.

 

....and that is why your budday is going to install my posi

 

thanks for the info, but the no slip powertrax locker can be installed without
removing the carrier ,it replaces the spider gears this is why they call it a
lunchbox locker ,correct me if i am wrong.

 

For this application, any color silocone will do.

 

yes thanks alot of informaton on this ,can you tell me 4x404Edge if your powertrax no slip was very noticable on road ,whats your opinion on this locker ,thanks.

 

Bruno...do you have a manual or auto?

 

automatic

 

You wont even notice it. It'll remind you it's there at times.....like in parking lots turning.


I've got a manual and an aussie locker....it's somewhat violent in parking lots. Otherwise, I dont even know it's there.

 

thanks thats what i wanted you to say,you guys are dam good.
