8.8 Explorer diferential ?

I am wanting to get a drive shaft made but was told I needed to change out the pinion yoke first, anyone else run into this problem.
to this type and remove the original round disc

I'm not sure why you would have to change out the yoke on a custom made shaft. I am using a 4x4 Chevy 2500 shaft with Ford OEM yokes on each end. I went to the skf website and cross referenced the joint cap sizes I needed in their catalog

I agree, as long as you have the right mating piece I don't understangd why it can't be made the way you want.

I guess I posted prematurely, I just talked with a guy here in town that has the same basic set up as I do and where he ordered one from. Mine is being shipped out Monday.
Half the price of what I had been quoted previously.. Thanks fellas..

I used one of these. then the rear u joint that I had with the Ford 9" worked with the Ford 8.8". I had to have the shaft shorten a bit.

Flange Yoke Diagram 4a Spicer 2-2-1379 adapter Ford Explorer pinion flange 4.25 inch diameter 8 bolt to 1310 U joint. 3" x 3" bolt pattern, 4.25 inch diameter, 2" center hole, 1310 series U joint (1-1/6" x 3.219&quot
