INTERCHANGE QUESTION

Hi everyone! I guess i am what you would call a newbee to this site although i have looked at it many times. anyway I have a 2003 ford explorer sport trac (1st gen)
and something inside my front carrier assembly let go. I haven't opened it up yet but i know its the culprit ! so i am just going to replace the whole thing as it has 275,000 miles on it. what i need to know is if anybody know if a 2005 front carrier assembly with the same axle ratio (4:10) will be an exact swap to my 2003 ?if anyone can tell me it would be a big help , or if i am in the wrong area to ask just say so.
