Before we run over to the yard and i make any on the spot decisions.
an 87-88 TC Rear Has 28 Spline Axles Shafts?
Even if i got the Rear setup minus the Axle Shafts, To use 31 Spline Axle shafts i would end up having to change out the differential?
If so...
Would i just be better off passing on the TC rear and waiting for a 95up Explorer Rear to come in?
After doing some more research:
I assume an Explorer rear isnt going to bolt on at all.
SO~
I'm back to needing:
A TC 8.8 Housing
And
2x 31 Spline Axle Shafts from a 95up Explorer (5 lug disc)
1x 31 Spline Differential Carrier from a 95up 8.8 Track Lock Explorer?
Am i correct on this?
Well no one replied :dunno:
So i ended up getting a complete '88 TC Rear End.
I'm hoping i'm correct in that just swapping in an 8.8 Explorer Differential + Aerostar, Ranger, Etc Axle Shafts will get me the 31 spline upgrade im looking to achieve.
i cant remember what axles had 31 spline but im sure the 8.8 TC rear is a 28 spline... so yes axles and differential would have to be swapped to use 31 spline set up
Ok,
so would a differential carrier from a 1996 Ford Explorer 8.8 bolt into the TC 8.8 Housing?
So as long as it will swap, And it's 31 spline, I have a shot at picking one up and i need to look further into it. :burnout:
