Jeep ring & pinnion/Ranger ring and pinion!!!

[ERICSRANGER]

I was wondering if a Jeep D35 ring and pinion is the same as the ring and pinion in my 94 ranger D35, in other words can they(Jeep) gears be used in my ranger... Thanks for any help...

If I remember right the front of the ranger in a reverse rotation gear and the jeep is standard, which makes them non interchangable.

If I'm wrong someone pipe up!!

The all TTB Rangers have a reverse rotation in the gearing.

The '98+ Ranger SLA Dana 35 has a standard rotation like the Jeeps.

HOWEVER, the TTB Dana 35 CAN use the Jeep Dana 35 carrier; incase you buy a Jeep Dana 35 locker.

I was just looking to switch ring and pinion, a buddy of mine has some 4:10's that I wanted to switch with my 3:73's.. That blows that idea! Anyone have 4:10 for a 35 and a 8.8.. Thanks for the help!!!

The proper term is Reverse Cut gears. Not reverse rotation. Reverse rotation means your axle is spinning the wrong way.

The proper term is Reverse Cut gears. Not reverse rotation. Reverse rotation means your axle is spinning the wrong way.

Well if you put a rear axle in the front of a truck and spun the pinion the same direction, the wheels would spin (rotate) backwards rather than forwards.

Which is why usually a front axle has the reverse cut/rotation gears and the same axle in the back end of a truck has standard cut/rotation. The ring gear needs to rotate the other direction.
