aerostar brakes.

[Zachalanche]

I've read that aerostars have finned drums. What year aerostar would have dums that fit the 8.8?

As far as I know, aerostars only came with 7.5 axles. Correct me if I'm wrong tho.

The finned drums are the 10 inch brakes. They will not fit on 9 inch brakes.

They are finned on Exploders and Rangers that have 10 inch brakes as well.

What years explorers?

I don't want to come across as calling someone like you out Makg, but I've got 2 explorer 8.8's with 10" brakes and neither have finned drums. maybe they switched over at some point?

Hmm, mine does. But I do know that they are far from factory original (I've got 260K miles).

I suppose it could be the parts guys doing me a favor.

Those 10 inch brakes are ENORMOUS.

yea, all the rangers/ explorers that come through the shop with the 10" brakes have all had the smooth drums

2wd Aerostars with the 4.0 had 8.8 rear ends. I don't think it matters whether it is 7.5 or 8.8. Only 9" or 10". The Ranger 7.5 and 8.8 axles use the same axle shafts so, the drums should be identical.
