Dana gears??

[PetesPonies]

Here's the engine just sitting in there: Also, here they say a 3.08 was available; cool!

http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/4wd_Front_Axles.html

so I wonder what the drivetrain combo/year used the 3.08s??

 

[4.0B2]

But if it's for street use why would you need 4x4? Just asking...

 

[PetesPonies]

you're kidding right??? ever hear of snow in Walls?

 

[4.0B2]

Nope. Don't snow here. Sorry I don't get snow like other places and don't think about it. Ya know-- you don't think about things that you don't deal with a lot.

Most snow I've got was like 3 inches and it shuts down everything. Sure I drive in it. But people here don't do well with snow

And even If I thought about looking where you're from-- it's not listed like mine is lol

 

[PetesPonies]

First, about other gears, changing from a 3.45 to a 3.27 would be a waste of time, not enough of a difference. The 3.08s wouldn't be my first choice, but if its the best i can do, I'll do it. However, I've been looking and can't find anywhere 3.08s listed for sale. Wish I could figure out what combo they were used in stock.

as for snow . . well last years we had 80 inches here, not canada, but enough 4WD is just nice to not have to worry about the snow. Thats why I bought abd built the Bronco. If I wasn't wanting a $WD, i see no reason to even consider a Bronco.

I already told you that.


Select and rare 4.0 2wd Rangers with the 8.8 rear end. Mostly (if not all, not sure of the year range) 3rd gen trucks. Far as I know, they weren't available for the Danas.

FYI- My '90 4.0l Supercab 2WD came with 3.08s. Not that it matters but its got a Detroit and 3:73s now. :icon_thumby:

 

[PetesPonies]

You guys amaze me . . no . really you don't. I have taught too long to not expect similar. What does the rear diff of a 2wd vehicle have to do with me wanting info on the front diff in a Dana 28 in a 4wd vehicle????????????????????????????????:icon_confused::icon_confused::icon_confused:

It simple, he said that the gears you are looking for never came in a 4x4 RBV.
3:08s were only available in 2wd RBVs. (adsm08 said mainly 3rd gens, I informed him that 2nd gens were also available w/ 4.0l and 3:08s)

I search a 1985 front axle asy. and 3.08 gears. Down the list there is this one:
1984
Front Axle Assy.
Ford Bronco II 3.08 ratio 39,000 B148 $200 Born Again Auto Parts USA-FL(Groveland) E-mail 352-793-2356

call and verify the ratio and get it and you'll have your 3.08 if they are correct.
