I've got a killer deal on a 2006 Ranger 2x4 king cab. It has the 3.0L 5spd powertrain with 4.10 gears but no Limited Slip. Now my current ride is a 97 B4000 with a LS rear. Here in Eastern Canada with all our snow and freezing rain it's been very nice. Should I wait for a truck with LS or is it a easy install?

Which company a good LS aftermarket unit?

Thanks for any help!!

Welcome to FTE!!!

Why not make putting one in part of the deal, shouldn't add much to the cost.

 

And you'll have the factory warranty.

 

Yuppers, that's my suggestion too. If you're selling your old Ranger that will easily offset the cost. And the benefits will pay for themselves many times over.

 

The problem is that it needs to be one of the trucks on the lot and none of them have LS! If it was an order issue, it would be done

 

Did you see if the dealership will swap them? Might have to pay 'em, but they might be willing to do it.

 

No, I have not ask. How complicated would it be?

 

Not all that complicated if they have one on sight. Just pull your tires off, disconnect everything, pull the old one off, put the new one on, reconnect, and put the tires back on. Take a few hours.

 

Ask the dealer what he would charge you to put a Ford Torson rearend in, that way it would be under warranty, or you might have him try a dealer trade at another store. That's what I did on my 05, to get the equipment I wanted.

 

They're usually very good at making it meet your specs to keep your business. Just make sure it'll be on the warranty and they change any paperwork necessary, might replace your door sticker too.
