So I'm doing a rear swap after mine decided to take a crap and leave everything in shreds. I can get a rear from the yard for $90 but I wanted to make sure on a couple things before I pick one up.
I have a 99 ranger with a R7 rear in it.
Two questions:
1. R7 is a 8.8, 4.10 rear with the locker. I believe I am able to replace it with either another R7 or a 97 (axle code). Would this be correct?
2. Does the year of the truck matter, or did ford make each exactly the same from year to year and the only variance is axle code? i.e. use a 97 rear from a 01 ranger.
Thank again. First post, but I look on here often for answers.
