Trac lock front axle

[ohiojack]

Is there any numbers or way to find out if a Ranger/Bronco 2 has a TracLock front axle. I know they where a option on early years of Ranger/Bronco2.

As far as I know, that was not an option for any RBV front axle.

yup, if you can find a ranger/b2 with the snowplow package (airbags in front springs and 4.10 gears), there's a good chance it will have the front trac-loc.

good luck, my b2 is the only rbv i've ever seen with a plow package. it didn't have the lower gears or trac-loc, but it had the bags, plow, and controls.

Thats cool. Too bad D28s are useless. You can put a Jeep D35 L/S unit in though.

A truck with the L/S front axle will have a 3-digit axle code on the door sticker ending in "2" (F62, for example).

Yupp.

Also, they were only offered for about 2 years, 86-87 I think.

edit - Also these are extremely rare. It was considered a myth around here until Allan D (I think?) informed us about the 3rd digit on the axle code.

I have it in my BroncoII. Not from factory, I purchased it in a junkyard. It was from a CA highway service Ranger, so maybe it was due to the snow-plow pkg.

This little LSD works well with the tire sizes that the Dana28 can hold. I think it would be a nice addition to a restored BroncoII or Ranger 4X4 full of factory options.
