so heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ford-...spagenameZWDVW


there are lots of these on ebay, what my question is would that posi and gears swap right into the rear end of my 88 f150 2wd v8 5.0?

and is there any other sites i can find some new gears and posi for my truck?

 

yeah if your truck has 31 spline axles like the explorer then it will swap right in and that aint no posi, thats a limited, slip posi is a gm term. and go on any site like summit or jegs and you will find tons of gears, LS units, lockers, and spools for your 8.8. oh and by the way the ebay site said that carrier had 3.73 gears on it

 

The F150 with the 5.0 V8 and 4.10s with TracLoc is a terrific combination by the way. The truck is a lot quicker in acceleration and there is much better throttle response.

I have this combination in my F150 from the factory and it really brings the 5.0 alive in this heavy 4350 pound truck.

 

Is there any articles that shows how to change the gears? any help would be apprieciated. i want to put 4.10's in my truck for pulling my trailer.

 

Here is a pretty good site for 8.8 differentials:http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/5o...5ohtech001.htm

You will love the 4.10s for pulling--especially if you have 35 inch tires. What differential gear do you have now??

 

after going thru 2 ford ls diffs inmy truck id stay away especailly one thats rusty like that one. my 1st one had the pin shear and destroyed everything inside, the 2nd well, i ended up putting a whole axle in it, its not stock and is not going that way, i am using a auburn pro series race carrier , gears are cheap, for what he wants for that id pass

 

www.4wheelparts.com is also a good place to get gears and they have very competive prices

 

sweet guys thanks for all your help,

i have stock 3.73 gears in it now, i am planning to put on some bigger tires and either leveling kit or 4-6 inch lift, so for now i want some new gears to give my baby a little git up and go untilil i decide what i wanna do ie lift and tires and motor swap or build

I am new to full size trucks, for the past 5 years ive been into mini trucks and before that imports, so i want something new, still love minitrucks, but thas for bags and shows, the full size are big boy toys!

so thanks for all your imput and if you have any advice or good websites for me to bookmark or ideas on what to do with my new baby since im new to the full size just let me know!

u can email me at neriahtreff@gmail.com

 

phoneman91, what size tires are you running with your 4.10s? I know you have a 5sp, but what kind of rpms do you see at 70mph? I'm thinking of doing this to my truck, but I only run 31" tires.

 

i have 3.55 in there now and it's bad pulling my new trailer. we'll see how it pulls with new tranny and gears.this site is very good, thank you.

 

str8racing, I would think you would need to go lower than 4.10 with 35" tires.

 

you mean like 4.56?

 

yeah, something like that. Have you already gotten the gears? You may want to talk with someone who has a similar setup, 302 w/e4od and 35s. You may ask around in the 4x4 forum. Alot of guys there run 35s.

 

well i hear that swapping a whole new axle with the gears in it is more than half the price on a 2wd

everyone tells me that just swapping in gears is a very long and difficult process even with the correct tools, is there any DIYs for swapping in new gears?

 

where would i find a 4.10 rear assembly?
