Manual Lockouts

[Josh B]

Isn't the 93 Ranger and 94 Ranger near identical? And aren't the Rangers near identical with the Mazda?

On rockauto the 98 to 2000 B3000 and B4000 take same front half shafts as the 96 to 2000 Rangers. I'd definitely count the splines again. Claims 27 on inner and outer shafts.

If the front cvs and front hubs are the same part number between ford and mazda then you should be able to use the locking hubs no problem

Wised up! Instead of setting on a bucket, hunched over under the fender well trying to hold a shop light and try to count the axle splines. Those axles are heavy. Just grab the plastic vacuum hub, stand up in the light and count the spline in it. Guess what 27 splines. When I bought this truck one thing I noticed was that the front axle halves looked fairly new, label intact and readable. Amazon is on speed dial. If I put on manual hubs do I need to plug vacuum lines.<><Duce
