I need the down and dirty on the 8.8 used in a 97 F-150. My blew the spider gears in his and we need the easiest way to fix it besides swaping in a 9". I am trying to convince him thats the best way to go but they are dead set on using an identical axle to the one thats in it. So I need the down and dirty on it as we can not find one here locally. will adding a locker do away with the spider gears? can a locker be added with out doing the gear set up? can the center chunk be replaced with out doing a gear set up? how similar are they to the ranger 8.8? can the F-150 8.8 center be replaced with a center from a ranger?
