pulled the tag heres the numbers
s6108 or maybe S610B
27 88 8h02

what gears is that? im buying the axle tommorow only if it has close to twhat im running now and has limited slip . its was eaither a 98 or 02 explorer cant remember. it has disk brakes though and the exploder was 4x4.

 

i thought normally where the 8h02 is like 4L10 meaning 4.10s l/s. idk the "code"

 

you are missing part of the tag numbers you posted this:

"27 88 8h02"

88 means 8.8 rear end.

the 27 will mean its a 3.27 gear your missing the 3 and or the L should be between the 3 and 27 if it is a limited slip if its an open there will be a blank space between the 3 and 27...

you can get an explorer disc with a 3.27 open or 3.27 LS 8.8 rear end. if you have the explorer still that it is coming out of look at the door axle tag

here is the explorer numbers on the door

41 - 3.27 open

D1 - 3.27 LS

 

i pulled the tag and there no 3 or l so darn if i drop down from 4.10 to 3.27 how will that affect me? either way im not buying one unless it has limited slip . the mega u pull here has all rearends for 100 bucks theres like 9.4million explorers and mountaneers so im going back in the morning to find one with ls. but 90% say 3.27 gotta find out what thats gonna do to my fuel economy and acceleration

 

better fuel economy but CRAPPY performance with your 2.3L i would stick with a 4.10 or 3.73 only you need to go back and look for a different one

 

HOLY CRAP you mean it can get worse than it already is lmao . yeah im going back in the morning found a page that breaks down all the codes Ford Rear Axle Assembly Identification - Page 13 - FORDification.com
gona print it out and take it with me. Thanks for the help

 

You shouldn't have a problem finding one with 373 ls. But 410 ls can be a ***** to find.

 

This will help you in finding out what you are looking at also.
