some guy gave me a 95' 4x4 manual trans. for free said he already had to replace/repair (dunno which) the rear assembly once and he dropped the keys in my hands because destroyed all the spider gears again anyways it had a 8.8 4.10 with 10inch brakes when i took it apart i wanted to know if this is what it comes with from the factory or is it his mod??
 
it could be the axle from the factory. the best way to check it is to look at the tag on the drivers door for the axle code and then look at the code list in the tech library.
 
yeah ill' do that would i just go by the codes that it has printed for the ranger??
 
sweet...86 is the code any idea what ranger comes with the limited slip 7.5 3.73 rear??
 
any ranger (or mazda) with a 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 2.9?, or 3.0 could have that axle.


oh wow im thick. i could have told you that the axle wasnt original from the fact that you have a 3.0 motor.

so that axle with 4.10s is useless to you as your truck is now. you can either find a 7.5 or 8.8 with 3.73s or use the axle you have and find a front pig that has 4.10s. i would go with the 4.10s myself.

anyway you go, both an 8.8 and a 7.5 will bolt in.
 
thanks for the help....well no i had originally thought thats' what came with it so i swapped another 8.8 4.10 rear in but transfer case was whining alot in 4wheel drive because of different ratio's so i got suspicious, picked up my 7.5 3.73 yesterday
 
it came from a 95 ranger guessing by what metalmac said it came from any ranger except a 4.0 but its' got 10inch drums?? any idea what ranger that is?? just trying to make my life easier when i go to buy brake products for it
 
not sure about the brake thing.

did you put the 4.10 axle in with your 3.73 front gears? and drive it in 4x4? if so that was a bad idea. i was saying that you could get 4.10 front gears so that they would match the back. having different gear ratios in the front and back is a very bad idea. just be glad that you only heard wining from your tcase and not uglier sounds.
