So everything will swap right into my f150?
The gears will, unless you put a 31 spline 8.8 in your ranger, the carrier wont.
Its a stock ranger edge
No. The Ranger 8.8 is like a hybrid 7.5/8.8. The larger ring gear is to handle the 4.0 torque, but it really isn't needed as a 7.5 is in no danger of being harmed by a 4.0. The 8.8 shares the 7.5 axles and the load rating is the same as the 7.5--being a semi-float, the load is carried on the axle shafts.
Maybe not the gears themselves (although they have been known to grenade), but the cross-pin doesn't appreciate a 4.0.
The 28spline ranger 8.8 carries 1050 shafts while the 7.5 carries 1040 which amounts to roughly 30% stronger...still not as strong as the 31 spline shafts but stronger than a 7.5 hence why you don't see very many guys blowing them even with 35s something that would kill a 7.5 very quickly.
