I've been having some time to think about getting the 8.8 rear end from the explorer with discs prepped for swapping out with the 7.5 currently installed in the V8 Ranger. The spring perches still have to be purchased from summit for around $9 for the set. The big question I'm faced with, would a posi trac differential from a 91 mustang 8.8 fit into the 2000 explorer 8.8, don't know if the bolt pattern is the same for the 2 different gears (2.45 to a 3.55). When I picked up the explorer rear, the differential felt really sloppy, alot of play in the axles and worried about it breaking if i try to use it as is. The one on the mustang rear is alot tighter and alot of life left in it. Hope someone has a little bit of info on this before taking everything apart.
Reading the thread about Nick's problem with the 7.5 and 302's and wonder how much life is left in mine.
