8.8 question

[GoneCountry110]

Alright I've got a 91', 4.0, 5spd, 2wd with the 8.8 28 spline out back. My buddy has some 4.10's out of a 2000 explorer 8.8 31 spline do you think it will work in my axle? If so do i need just the gears or do i need the carrier as well?

I wouldn't bother with a factory limited slip, as already stated, if you are looking for performance, go with a lunch box locker

You should really start your own thread or search a little instead of thread-jacking. You will get a much better response...

carrier wont do you any good unless you go with 31 spline axles as well

Yeah, the Exploder axles are a different width than the Ranger axles. You could put the whole exploder axle assembly in but, it will require a bit of fab work.
All 8.8 rear gears (Ring and pinion) interchange.

8.8 gears are 8.8 gears irregardless of spline count

He has a 8.8 28 spline axle now. He just needs the 4:10 gears not the carrier. I have a set of 4:10 gears from a 31 spline Explorer axle. I'm 99% sure it will work in his 28 spline Ranger, correct?

So pretty much Im gathering that the setup will work?

Yes.

you can swap any 8.8 gear to any housing or carrier. you jsut cant swap the carrier wthout changing the axles to match
