In this video I find the donor 8.8 axle in the junkyard. Bring it back to the garage and disassemble it in prep for installing into the ranger.

FWIW: If you want a drop in 8.8 31 spline rearend for your Ranger, find one out of a 2002 FX4 Off Road, or a 2003 FX4 Level II. They both came with 31 spline axles and Torsen differentials.

That is very true, except they wont have disc brakes :(

Great videos, I'm gonna be doing this to my 2007 Ranger XLT. 🤓

My 93 ranger splash came with a 8.8 rear and front/ rear sway bar

@paule01 9 месяцев назад

Those Splash models had some pretty nice upgraded options

@Lima_ranger_95 10 месяцев назад

Why remove the sway bar ? It’s a drastic improvement to the handling, at least in my opinion. I don’t understand why no one ever uses it ?

@nofortunatesonII 7 месяцев назад

I agree. It makes a big difference on handling.

In minute 6:21 looks so easy to remove C-clips, My question is what prevents them from coming out while it is running?

@paule01 28 дней назад

@@javieraranda2952 The c-clips are unable to be removed while the centre pin is installed. The centre pin doesnt allow the axles to have any slack in them to gain access to the clips. You can kind of see when I remove the pin the axles shaft can be moved towards the centre of the diff. Hope that makes sense

@paule01 27 дней назад

@@javieraranda2952 no problem, I believe the manual says 15-30 ft-lbs. I did 20 and used some loc-tite as well for extra safety

Part 2?? Most ranger enthusiasts arent documenting their installs

@paule01 11 месяцев назад

Part 2 should be coming in a couple weeks! Thanks for following along

Does that have a drum and disc brakes how much did you pay for the part in American dollars

@predasorin 11 месяцев назад

what year is the explorer from and what engine does it have 8.8?

@paule01 11 месяцев назад

I believe this was a 1998 Ford explorer and it had the 4.0L engine

@@paule01 thank you very much for the answer, I follow you with great pleasure, I also ordered the 4/5djm kit and I will continue to steal some ideas from you, I hope you don't mind.

@RubenAvila 11 месяцев назад

For the ignorant - why are you doing this?

@paule01 11 месяцев назад

Thats a great question and now that I think of it I probably should of explained in the video. The 8.8 rear end has disc brakes, limited slip differential and stronger axles. My Ranger came factory with a 7.5 rear end, drum brakes and a open differential.
