stupid question

[91rangerxlt]

I believe my f150 has a 8.8 its a 1999 its got 3.55 gears, just wandering if the 4.10s put of my ranger will fit?

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Yes, 8.8 gears are all the same.

 

[91rangerxlt]

Yes, 8.8 gears are all the same.

So everything will swap right into my f150?

 

[06RangerXLT]

yes.

The gears will, unless you put a 31 spline 8.8 in your ranger, the carrier wont.

Its a stock ranger edge

 

[cdawall]

then its 28 spline you will need to swap carriers

No. The Ranger 8.8 is like a hybrid 7.5/8.8. The larger ring gear is to handle the 4.0 torque, but it really isn't needed as a 7.5 is in no danger of being harmed by a 4.0. The 8.8 shares the 7.5 axles and the load rating is the same as the 7.5--being a semi-float, the load is carried on the axle shafts.

The Explorer has a real 8.8, and the FX4 Ranger.

Maybe not the gears themselves (although they have been known to grenade), but the cross-pin doesn't appreciate a 4.0.

I broke a tooth off a spider gear on a 7.5 with a 2.3, but was on a shock load...

The 28spline ranger 8.8 carries 1050 shafts while the 7.5 carries 1040 which amounts to roughly 30% stronger...still not as strong as the 31 spline shafts but stronger than a 7.5 hence why you don't see very many guys blowing them even with 35s something that would kill a 7.5 very quickly.
