I was just checking to see if this chapter is still active. Anybody in TX have a 4.10LS complete rear to sell, with brakes, 2005 and later?

Reno, I might be able to find you one. Let me check the Gold Mine this week. Most of what he has are diesels with the 3.73 rears, but there might be a 4.10 lurking out there.

A 4.10 with LS would be the bee's knees. I would slide that in our MDCV (see sig) so its overall gearing more suits its moderate speed role. My wife enjoys the snappy go pedal the V10 delivers around town.

Then I'd take the low-mileage 3.73 from the MDCV, drop in a softlocker, and put it in the F250 SD which has 240k on the clock and is whining. The 7.3 PSD in that rig has forged rods so I can safely tune it up to about 400hp. With that much power, no need for 4.10s

Sounds like a plan. I'll check into it this week and get back to you.

You wanting a 10.5 Sterling or a Dana 80 dually axle?

Sterling. I already have dually conversion adapters in there on a Sterling.

D80 woulda been right nice, but a much bigger project for what is essentially a grocery getter and go to church van.
