Rear Identification

[Chic N Stew]

can anyone tell me what rear this is by this pic, someone will probably know what it is with out looking at the pic, not sure what rear comes in a 86 ranger

Should be a 7.5 if it's the original.

From that angle they all look the same.

Try a PIC of the rear cover?

shouldnt your door post have the info? Then the tech library has a whole breakdown of the axle codes.

7.5... They didn't have 8.8s behind 2.9s or in that year....

Not to my knowledge.

i'm driving an example that came factory with 2.9l fm-146 d35, 1354m, 8.8. much better truck than the 88 it replaced.and once i figure out the 8 wires that are different on the 4.0l swap it'll be even better

it should but sometimes there is doubt about whether the door is origional to the truck or if its the same axle that the truck came with.

to clear up that doubt you just compare the vin number on the door tag to the vin tag.

8.8s weren't limited to the 4.0l. Technically they were, but I have seen some screwups, like a 8.8 behind a '94 2.3l, i believe even the door code matched.
