Hi , looking for info on replacing my rear end in my 97 ranger 4x4 4.0l 5 spd.
My rear end is worn out...it's a truck i bought awhile back and i had allot of whine in the rear end as well as pinion noise . when a friend was taking it apart to replace the pinion bearings he noticed that there was allot of gap "spacing" between the gears etc as well as allot of blueing on all the parts....he thought that someone probably had run it with little or no fluid in it at sometime . So i want to get a complete rear end ...what years will fit newer preferably & is there anything in particular i should look for . My gears are 373 's i believe , the number on my pinion is #F678A373MTBL .
Appreciate any info you can give me .
Tks D.
