Lead follow or get out of my way
That truck should have an 8.8... probably 4.10 Trac-Lock in the rear... Dana 35 SLA up front.

What are you looking to do?

Would also be helpful if we knew for sure what gear you currently have... along with tire size.

thanks for the quick reply but to answer you question the truk has 8.8 373 non limited slip with traction control my question is does it make sense to install limited slip with traction control

Ah ha. Another geezer on the site. At 75 with a 2002 4WD Ranger XLT, I do all my own work as well. Good to have you with us.

Welcome to TRS.
Although not quite a the "geezer" age, I'm close enough to relate.
Good on ya for doing your own work. Lots of help here, so don't be a stranger.

Any questions or advice you can offer, don't be afraid to jump in.

I just found this site and also am considered a "Senior" although I don't feel it much yet. Glad to see that I'm not the only one!
