Ok so I'm about to pull my 7.5L/S out of my 87 ranger to place a 8.8L/S. But my question is can I take out the 7.5 l/s carrier out of the 87 and place it in my 01 2wd 7.5 open axle. I would do this b/c I need the speed sensor for my 01. I think I would also change the gearing now I have 3.75 and the 87 axle has 4.10.
thanks guys
 
a 7.5 is a 7.5...so yes the gears and carrier will swap...but dont forget you need to set up the R&P properly or you'll destroy the gears.
 
sweet sounds like time to learn about setting up gears
 
just swap the whole l/s 7.5 in, it already has vss for the abs froom the 87 ranger, so the 87 or 01 vss sensor should work with the 87 tone gear

I pulled all the wires from the truck today and I didnt find any vss on the 87 ranger.
the 87 is a stx 4x4 supercab. is it suposed to have abs
Im also plan on pulling the the axles out of the 87 to replace the bent axle on the 8.8

wierd:icon_confused:, thought rabs was started in the late gen 1 models, guess they didn't start it until gen 2, because my 89 Bronco II has Rabs, and the vss for the Rabs looked to be the same 1 as my old 2000 ranger vss


sorry, just looked at wiki, guess Rabs was added to the gen II(89 up) so sorry for the false info
