Hi,

Sorry if this as been asked somewhere but i dint find it...i wa wondering what kind of differential my ranger has. more imprtantly if ist open or as any kind of lsd...i always though ranger cam stock with open diff...then i went and found a hill where i could put 1 tire on packed snow and 1 on clear pavement....i gave slowly gas and as my tire in the snow start spinning my other wheel locked and started to grip... i was wondering how can i know exactly what do i have in my trucks... thx

 

post the axle code int he drivers door jamb...is should be like 87 or r7

 

lol, that the problem it aint there, the truck as a rebuilt title and the dorr was changed and painted back... no sticker in the doors...

 

tag on the axle perhaps

 

The axle will have either 3 numbers with a space after the first one, or an 'L' in that space. what this is is gear ratio and whether you have limited slip or not. Mine reads '4L10" which means 4.10 gears, and limited slip. If theres a space, like "4 10" then its an open diff..

 

ok im gna check tmorrow morning at day light, ty very much...ill post the result of my finding

 

from what i can see it says

4 10 8 8 4hc4 not sure of last 4

so it should mean i have a 4 10 ratio with open diff with 8.8 axle?

i thougth sport are supose to come with lockiing-antislip dif?


ty

 

i think i have a 4 10 so open diff, do you know how much it would cost to install a limited slip in? just curious if is worth it

 

Depends on who you take it to and how they charge, but I'm guessing $400 to $600 plus the cost of the parts.

 

ok, it is probably more worth it to buy a torsen diff from a 07+ with about same mileage...
