So I'm currently in the process of buying a 2003 2.3... Manual transmission, completely base model, just like I 'em. Actually, it was a parts delivery vehicle for an autozone. It's really quite beautiful in a way which I'm sure you guys understand. (None of my art school friends get it, really.)
Anyway, the truck is essentially going to be split purpose. I would buy a 4X4 4.0 but I drive like maybe 1700+ miles a month, and with my plans to move to upstate NY it's actually going to get worse. So, I need the gas millage, but for all other purposes I need a truck that'll get around in the snow, logging roads, etc...
Yet I'm buying a 2wd truck. Funny. Yeah, well, I've been getting everywhere I need to go in a fwd subaru station wagon for a couple years now so I figure...
I'm going to buy a base ranger; I'm going to put some aggressive tires on it and if at all possible I'm going to put limited slip in the rear end.
I'd look up the axle code, but I'm still waiting for the truck, and I'm getting a little antsy. I can't find any aftermarket lsds with the term "2.3" in there with google.
So does this truck have 6-7/8? So would there be no aftermarket lsds for it? So do I have to convert to 7.5... (I'm kind of assuming I might as well anyway.) So with a 7.5.... what's the lsd recommendations you have for me. I'm thinking lock-right....
Money really isn't an issue except for the sake of keeping principle.
