have an 88 2wd ranger. axle is '84' 345 ratio. on the highway it cruises at 65 comfortably but is straining a little at 70. it doesn't like doing 75, which is usually the right lane speed here in tampa
my questions; will any 7.5 diff fit in my axle housing, irregardless of the source( ranger , aerostar, explorer, et al) ? if i find a limited slip diff, will it fit? if i go to a 373 ratio, am i going to get a bit more highway speed (i think it would be at the cost of slower acceleration)
i have the 2.9 with automatic. both are scheduled for rebuild later this year. the plan is maybe a mild cam for more hp but nothing outrageous
