What gear ratio do you have right now?

 

[Hurley]

i have an open 7.5 with 3.73s

 

[Black mamba]

Oh man.. I know for sure you can find an 8.8 with 3.73s that's actually really common !

 

[ob269]

Yeah I got the same problem Ryan.. 3.73s not too bad, I can live with it but the open diff really grinds my gears..

 

[Redneck_ranger]

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the open diff where both back wheels are engaged rather than the limited slip that only engages one?

 

[ob269]

Other way around Pete.. if your wheels break loose and it let's one wheel spin that's an open diff, as to where limited slip/posi trac 'limits the slipping' by transferring the power to the wheel that's not spinning..

 

[Redneck_ranger]

Well then my buddy's retarded. Posi is what I thought an open diff has. lol

 

[ob269]

no sir, positrac is one of the specific makers name, and ls is someone elses..
I think fords is sensi track

I have the track lok axle, but that's traction control more than positraction

Trac-Lock

 

[Black mamba]

I'm locked no spin for me

 

[Hurley]

What would it cost for me to get l/s?

 

[Brinker88]

Let's see here. A MINIMUM of $250 for a L/S (reliable). $100 for a rebuild kit, $300 for labor, PLUS another $60 for u-bolts.

So total of around $700. OR go to a JY like I suggested and get a used axle for around $200.

Do the math. :thumbsup:

 

[Hurley]

Ok so that idea is out the window

 

[Black mamba]

Labor is a killer on gear swaps man..

 

[ZRanger28]

i plan on doing the expo 8.8 swap after the turbo swap is done

 

[ZRanger28]

but i gotta change my front gears as im sure expo's did not have 3.27 gears

 

[TurdFX4]

No, youre looking at either 3.73 or 4.10

 

[Black mamba]

Just pull the front too...
