As most of yaw know I bought a 1991 ford explorer xl 4x4 for 60$ any ways im doing a sas on it and putting a dana 70 on the rear end.........soooo that brings me to my question! What gear ratio is in the rear end of the explorer right now because if its better than 3.73 than ima swap it under the ranger!

 

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


6.72? 7.17? 3.50? 4.10?



how the hell do we know? Your the one laying under it. There should be a tag on it, if not there's a code on the sticker in the driver door frame or on the driver door.

 

thanks ima go look i just didnt know where to look!

 

the tag will be held on with one of the diff cover bolts if its on there.

 

4 10! woo hoo..........! should do good with my 33's right? o and how can i tell if its possi trac?

 

The axle code would help.

 

8.8 31 spline?

 

i had to get brakes for my ranger and when i went to autozone to get them they asked if i needed 9inch or 10 inch shoes, i wasn't sure, then the guy asked well do you have possi trac and im like um i don't think so, hes like well do both tires spin when you do a burn out, lol i was like nope, hes like well then you don't have possi track and you have 9inch shoes. so i guess that would be a fun way to tell if you had possi trac!
just my 2cents

 

my ranger has posi i know that.

 

the parts guy is on crack MOST OF THE TIME if it is a reg cab it has 9" and a supercab has 10"

 

That's no way to tell whether you have 9 or 10 inch brakes...

 

It's not "posi trac"

4.10's should do fine, 4.56's are ideal

 

thats what happens when you go to autozone
