Check Randy's Ring and Pinion: https://www.randysworldwide.com/

Also check Just Differentials: https://www.justdifferentials.com/

The Randy's web site is a bit more friendly to work with than the Just Differential site.

Also, check the TRS Store. I've never paid attention to the D28 as far as what is listed but the owner has done a pretty good job of putting up what is available there. On the main forum page, scroll down until you see the banner on the right side for the store.

Checked, doesnt seem to much support out there for the D28. May have to move to a 35

I read somewhere that aftermarket support was basically gone. Who knows. Try a junkyard?

I think 4.56 is the lowest gear ratio offered for the D28 otherwise the pinion gets to have too few teeth... Going to a Dana 35 is a good option anyway, I don't regret mine...

'91-94 Explorers are still somewhat easy to find sometimes and are a great source of axles, '97 Rangers have dual piston calipers apparently, I've seen a couple, '90-92 4 cylinder 4x4 Rangers are a source of 4.10 geared Dana 35's if you run across one, supposedly '93-97 4 cylinder Ranger 4x4's apparently got the hybrid sometimes from what I've heard.

I think I found a source for 5.13 R&P. It arrives this week.
