Hi, im just wondering if there is a read end you can get for a ranger that will have pozzi so both wheels will turn?

 

Explorer 8.8.




BTW, Welcome to the Forum!

 

thanx

 

you could get a lunchbox locker.

if you have a 7.5" rearend i have one that im selling on here.

 

accuautoparts.com

factory limited slip.. 230 or so shipped.
its working good for me.

 

you can get a used limited slip axle from a ranger in the junk yard.

 

how do u tell witch rear end is a limited slip?

 

Well... assuming it still has body panels... the axle codes can be found on the doors. Otherwise there should a tag looking thing on the axle that will tell you what was originally in it. Now granted if it's been modified, nothing you can do except pull it apart and look at it.

Use this for more information:

if u get a limited slip rear end will both wheels turn if one gets stuck or will it still be hard to get going in the snow with only one wheel spining?

 

A limited slip is not a locker. It will do SOME good depending on the situation. But if you have a wheel up in the air or on solid ice, it is still going to spin the useless wheel.

 

Dose anyone have a locked for sale or know where i could get one i have a open 7.5 with 3.45 gear ratio but i need 4.10 gears would i have to get a locker and the gears or should i just get a new rear end with a locker?

 

Buy the 4.10 axle from the junkyard so you don't have to set up the gears and then buy a lunchbox locker. I think I saw one either here or on TRS for $100.

 

Actually non of the above will have a posi! Posi-Trac is a GM terminology, But I guess its like using the word band-aid now!

 

[Joe Dirt's dad] How does the posi-trac in the rear end of a plymouth work? It just does [/Joe Dirt's dad]

 

can you tell me who is selling one and how easy are lockers to put in?

thanx

 

ya i no im going to get an explorer 8.8 from the scrap yard

 

would an explorer 8.8 have both wheels spining or would it be the same as a 7.5?

 

Like stated before, you need to read these replys. Explorer axles are spring under axle while rangers are spring over axle. So your going to need to get new spring perches and shock mounts. I've done this swap and its amazing. As for will both wheel spin. For the most part yes. I'm running a little less than half the friction modifier your suppose to so that mine locks up easier. Around corners going slow my wheels lock up and I get the chirp. In the snow it also locks up. If I get tire on ice and one one the ground the one on ice will spin while the other doesn't.

 

o ok well i think im just going to go to the scrap yard and try to find an axle with 4.10 gears is anyone selling a locker for a 7.5?

 

Yes, go to the scrap yard and get either a 7.5 or an 8.8 from a ranger with 4.10's. Ideally an 8.8 from an fx4 or an explorer would be much stronger (31spline v. 28 spline), but a 7.5 will stand up to a decent amount of punishment. I recommend staying away from the a factory ls unless you want to rebuild it. I couldn't find a lunchbox locker, only a detroit. Keep your eyes open and put up a WTB. You'll find one.

 

ORLY??




If you read the posts in your thread, you should be able to find one

 

already talked to him he said he sold it
