I'm looking in to ordering parts to re-gear my 8.8" axle in my V8 swap truck and I want to make sure I order the right parts the first time..
I swapped an 8.8" 31 spline axle from an FX4 LVL II Ranger in to my 87 Ranger 5.0 2wd street truck. It has the 4.10 gears and Torsen locker as expected.. I'm trying to get my highway rpm down some, increase my mileage a tad bit, and also make 1st gear in my T5Z a little more usable.
I need to re-gear to a 3.73 but I seem to be getting conflicting info on the pinion spline count when shopping for gears.
It shows the pinion spline count as 28 splines in the chart halfway down the page here: https://www.therangerstation.com/stock-ranger-specifications/ford-ranger-rear-axles/
I was looking at 3.73 gears and I want to stick with the Ford Racing brand. So while shopping for the best prices on them, I found these but they list the pinion spline count at 30 splines: https://www.jegs.com/i/Ford-Performance/397/M-4209-88373/10002/-1
This install kit is what I'll be using as I'd like to use the high torque pinion bearing: https://www.jegs.com/i/Ford-Performance/397/M-4210-B2/10002/-1
Because everyone likes pictures lol
