What would an 8.8 with 3.73 gears and a posi be worth? Its out of an 89 Ranger GT and I want to make an offer but don't want to insult the guy. He is asking $400 for it. Is that too much?

Thanks

I just did the calculations and that comes out to $362 US dollars. That's WAY too much for an 8.8 IMO. I paid $266 for mine.

I gotta agree with Tom on that one. Wait on it and you can probably find a 31 spline axle w/ LS for that price or less.

I don't think a '89 would even have a 8.8...

I paid $100 for my 8.8 and got the springs with it, I had to pull it out of the Explorer myself though. 3.73's with a limited slip and disc brakes.

price at the local you-pull is $100US. for any rear axle. See them listed for anything from $150 to $400 though.

out of an '89 GT?

It's very unlikely to be an 8.8"
