Ford ranger 8.8 differntal help

[insansk8er90]

Alight i have a 1994 ford ranger 4.0....it has a ford 8.8 28 spline, i think. Now what other stock vehicle's can i go to to get a posi unit to fit my axle, from a junk yard. Im getting pretty tired of my one wheel wonder and would love to go 2 wheel drive cheap. I can't afford buying a new diff. so someone please help me out in this department. I would hate to weld my diff!

Yo,
I don't believe that there were many rangers with the 28 spline that came with a limited slip. I believe that a no-slip or lockrite is gonna be your best bet. Take a look at these.

What he said^ Don't bother with the hassle of swapping in an LS that will not perform well anyways. A no-slip or lock-right would be a much better choice.

To answer the question, many 4.0L Rangers did come with the 28 spline limited slip. I would think many 5.0L Mustangs have them as well. A few Aerostars may have them too, although they're not as common on those.

I would also agree, if offroad performance is important, a limited slip is gonna let you down big time. Now if it's just some extra traction you need for bad street driving conditions, then the locker likely would be overkill.
