I'm pretty sure i blew up my front differential its puking fluid from everywhere..Anybody know where you can buy a new one or about how much a rebuild will run me. Im going to be closing the deal on gumbys rcd on sunday so funds a limited for a while..

 

A front diff is SUPER expensive to buy or rebuild so you're gonna just have to back out of the RCD deal.


Honestly though it would probably be cheaper to buy a used diff assuming yours really is blown up. You can find used ones on Ebay, here, other ranger boards, and the Explorer boards. Usually run a couple hundred bucks.


Take a good look at your diff first though because the rangers have a reputation for a leaky pinion seal on the front. I've seen a few instances of the actual RTV sealant on the diff cover let go. I would look into those two things before you decide to have it replaced or rebuilt. The pinion seal and the diff cover seal are both cheap and easy fixes.

 

Justin in Livonia, mi has one 98torrador ranger... something like that he is trying to get rid of cheap the damn thing is like brand new 3.73 gears...

 

HEY HEY!!!

 

i have one with 4.88s and an aussie locker but i dont need to get rid of it for another 8 months...

 

I have one with 3.73's. It needs to be cleaned out and needs new fluid. When I took it out it didn't leak or have any problems. Did I mention it is for sale uber cheap.

 

haha thanks guys now i know who to ask when if i do need one..it is leaking from the front pinion and it looks like it was spraying fluid out by the cv's ?

 

I have an 04 front diff with 4.88s, check the classifieds I post a while back. Then you could slap 4.88s in the rear and run 35s with your double lift.

 

I got one that zach mentioned. it has 3.73 gears in it and it had pvh on it so it has less that 20 miles on it i am certsin because it was never in 4x4 before i got it and i only had it in 4x4 once before i put 4.10's in it. it is like brand new. you could eat off the gears. the original fluid came out as clean as the new fluid went in
