Which is easier and faster when changing ratios? 94-5.0-4r70w-3.08 Want to change to 3.55 What years can be swapped? Ring & pinon or Comp axle. I'm going to use used parts from local boneyard. 3.08 won't pull the hat off grandpa's head. Gonna get me some gear! PM

That would be the easiest way. Get the speedo gear off of the donor trucks speedo cable so yours will be correct.

'92-up has no speedo cable or gear. It uses the ABS sensor in the rear axle for the speedo, transmission control, cruise, and ABS (and thermometer on '95-6 EB Broncos).

'87-up has no third member - only the 8.8" axle in 1/2-tons, which is a NON-removable carrier differential. The 9" in '86 was the last with a "chunk".

BTW My 3.08s will pull the world.

HMMM, I thought it would have one where the cable used to go with the speed sensor for the speedo and cruise like a T-Bird and Cougar.

It would be a small world if you are turning a 4r70w!

Oops - you're right. '92 only has the gears and the VSS (but no cable) on the trans/t-case just for the old vacuum-type cruise system. '93-current has no speedo gears.

In any case, his '94 doesn't need speedo gears or recalibration, unless he changes tire size.
