I was just under my Ranger and noticed a wet spot on the rear end. It looks like a pinion seal leak. She has 230,000 on her, so I'm guessing it's time for a differential rebuild.
From what I see, just replacing the whole axle with a salvage part is much friendlier to the wallet vs a rebuild.
The door says I have an 87...aka open 7.5 @ 4.10
If I put a F7 or R7 (7.5 or 8.8 @ 4.10) will I have issues? It seems like I saw somewhere that I'd need to replace the Master Cylinder and maybe some ABS parts too. What about tires/wheels (I'm not looking to change those for now)
Any suggestions are more than welcome!!
I like doing light/moderate off road, perhaps towing a small camper or boat. No hard core 4 wheeling.
