axle code 97

project SHO89. Thanks for all your help. I have been looking for that stuff for days. Didn't want to bother the local dealer. All this was needed as I am looking to buy a Ranger within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again. Ken Liden

Door code 97 is a 8.8 open differential 4.10 28 spline on my 2011 Ranger 2.3L Automatic.

I opened it up to find an excessive noise.

turned out to be the outer pinion bearing.

Master Install kit & a Yukon DuraGrip locking differential is ordered

i would think your 2004 would be 28 spline too BUT my 2011 is rear disc brakes so it could be different on your older drum brake application
