Kyle M's Ranger Rebuild

[4.0B2]

as long as its before july 5th or whatever date it is.
think we get a discount for being TRS to. doubt they'll give you both discounts tho

 

[Kyle M.]

Yup, the TRS one is 10% that I always use, didn't know about the facebook one....I jusr ordered another $100 and used the facebook one, they will only let you use one. I ordered some limit straps and a pinion guard for the 14 bolt.

i'm jealous.. if i just half the money you've just spent in the past month.. my sas would be finished!

 

[Kyle M.]

it has been an expensive month lol



But, I parted out my mustang to pay for this.

 

[kris97ranger]

What was there to even part out from it? Other then the engine and drivetrain which is goin into the ranger

 

[CheapThrillB2]

Rims, Transmission, Tires, Axle, Suspension, various interior parts, still usable body parts such as hatch and tailights etc,

 

[Kyle M.]

Yup, what he said, lol. There were still lots of good parts. I even saved the exhaust and sold that.

where is my money tree again?

i dont know, but if you find it, cut me off a sapling and mail it down here. i'll pay for shipping

 

[Kyle M.]

LOL, will do!



Here is a picture of my drive slugs, got them from a local place that makes them in house, Rocksolid Performance. Great guys, great sevice. I order my gears from them also.

Nice stuff ya got there! When I go 35 spline outers up front I'll be throwin flanges in too, no sense in throwing weak points in! Trucks coming together, you'll love the v8 for wheel speed in the mud.

 

[Boggin]

i have a newb question. what is the advantages of slugs? i think theyre replacements of the lock in hub so your front shafts will always be engaged, kind of like a jeep axle right? and its supposed to be stronger than just having hubs?

 

[wahlstrom1]

Strength, nothing to come apart at the stub as it's solid steel!

I got a screaming deal on all the parts so why not right? I am looking forward to the v8, that and the auto. Will be nice to play with

Yup, stronger is the main reason. I am running them in my 44 now too.

Sweet, good to know. thanks!

 

[Kyle M.]

Got my axles tore down, just gotta degrease them, cut off brackets and paint them. Hope I get my gears soon so I can get doing that too.

The 60

the 14 bolt I am using, cleaner housing

All of my mess

The C6, think it is a short housing, adaptor measures about 6" long, is that good or bad?

My 5.0 sitting on the stand ready to swap, just need a flywheel, oil filter relocator kit and maybe a starter, not sure if they are all the same or not.

Hope this ECU still works, don't really want to have to buy a new one, might anyway, this one is for a 5 speed and I will be running an auto.

The gears I took out, 60 on left, 14 bolt on right

14 bolt gears compared to my 8.8 gears, looks tiny!

Oh, and I scrapped the mustang body, here it is on the trailer
