I bought a new 2021 FWD ranger 2 years ago. I assumed it would be good in the snow like my previous rangers. After trying Blizzaks and weight in the back, it's OK in the slush, snow and ice. Nothing compared to my stock 2004 ranger for sure. Anyway, after much digging, I believe I have an open differential. Not sure why someone would want that in a pickup, but here I am because I did not buy the optional locking rear diff.
I think I want a limited slip diff over a locking diff. I know my axle code is 71. I saw a post that says this is an open diff with 3.73:1 ratio. Does anyone know the spline count and how many inches the axle is? All the charts I'm finding are for older rangers.
I'm also looking for recommendations on what diff to get. My primary concern is highway snow, slush and ice.
Thanks!
