what do you think?

Would this be a decent setup for a DD and occasional trail. Not crawling.

kinda pricey for my neck of the woods. I payed $75 for a stock 97 ex's 8.8, granted- i did have to regear and it was open not a trac loc.

but $250- idk. pull a part's are about $100 and you can get 4.10's disc brake LSD if you're lucky.

now if you're ok with the price, then yeah it'll be a good set up for dd and trail unless you want 4.10's

 

[b2rich]

so, im still trying to figure it out. the LSD would be a better option than the trac-loc for my purposes?
and you pull it is about 250 here.

 

[Sunk]

Trac-Loc is limited slip.

 

[b2rich]

OK. thats where i get confussed. the terminology.
Thanks

if you're upullit is that much then heck, why not i guess... but still seems steep to me. dang i'd choke paying that much for a rear axle that's basically stock. maybe search some more for a cheaper one??? idk..

would the 3.73 match your front? are you planning on staying 3.73's?

hey this is commifornia, everything is $$$ here I would really like to go to 4:56s. but i think that 4:10s would be ok.
Ya im currently running stock 3:73s. if i go to 33s on the tires, I think the trany would like 4:56 more.

 

[4.0B2]

the auto (a4ld) would love you for the 4.56's lol...
and another reason not to live in freakin Calli! lol

Have you tried the Ford dismantler out in Rancho Cordova? They should be able to hook you up with a 8.8 with disc/LS/4.10. Or if you want a hand finding/pulling one out of Pick-N-Pull hit me up. I'll come help you.:icon_thumby:
Also it is cheaper to find a axle with the gears you want then it is to regear them.
$200 is the going price on axles around here. Might find them a little cheaper in Reno, if you don't mind a little drive. Hell I drove down to Merced to pick up my axles.

I talked to them awhile ago about a 94 d35, they quoted me 250.00 at that time. But that included ALL the hardware. I was going to call them and see what a 8.8 and 35 would be.
The pick and pull wants 279.00 for the front, and 184.00 for the rear. As per their price list.

i dont know about the drive to Reno. right now its a 6 hr drive from placerville to truckee. :icon_surprised: but snow melts.

As for the offer to help me. that would rock. I would like to get to know someone else around the area that runs the b2 and know what the heck they are doing. I have had a couple of people offer to help me before, but they have flaked out.

sure will.
I just have to figure out how to get them from point a to point b. Would the 8.8 fit in the back of the b2?
the b2 is down right now. but hope to get it taken care of this week.

 

[4.0B2]

Uh I don't think I'd wanna stuff an 8.8 in the rear of a b2.....
