Ford ranger rear end

[CTS Tactical]

Yep - just like the paint and trim codes.

But it should tell you the same thing the tag on the rear end tells you.

The door tag should show what it came with from the factory.

If they don't match, perhaps it's been changed at some point...?

Shouldn't be too hard to find one that was swapped out for an explorer axle. They came with an 8.8 and disk brakes, since yours is a 4cyl all you need is the 7.5.

I've got an '03 B2300 that came with 4.10 gears, shouldn't be too hard to find one with the lower gearing to help the 4 banger be more drivable. Can find them pretty cheap too.

For what it’s worth pull a part had a bunch of rangers yesterday. You could pick up another whole rear end cheap.

Don't bother going to Brooks Auto Salvage, they are a ripoff, last time I went there I got quoted $150 for a factory Ford bottle jack & a 90's tape player. This was before inflation prices, sometime in 2017. I tried to explain the jack would be cheaper to buy new from Walmart & the cassette player was cheaper through ebay, was told they aren't their competitors.

Judging by the amount of people walking both of these yards, it's obvious people prefer Cagle's. Brooks prices are more in line with auto shops that have insurance money buying the parts.

If you're lucky to find a Ranger that's 2009-2011 with it' rear axle, they came from the factory with rear disk brakes.

I did see a '97 Explorer at Cagle's last weekend. Can't recall if it still had the axle though.

Where's the pull a part?

There are 3 of them on Atlanta. One on the east side is near stone crest mall, one on south side is near the 675 and i285 interchange, third one is on north end somewhere. The one I had gone to was pap south.

Figuring the ratio. Is easy

Mark the wheel and mark the driveshaft

Jack up BOTH rear wheels and spin the driveshaft and count the turns it takes to make one fill revolution of the wheel
