...It would be the same as the rear gearing..

...You should be able to find the axle code on your door sticker..Post it back up here..

I think he is asking what front axle he has. Possibly a Dana 35?

ya i'm asking what the front diff is i've looked around and it could be a dana 35 or a super 30, and there is no tag on the diff but the shape of the cover is pointing towards super 30, just would like to clear it up thxx

looks like super 30 but it says from 2001 to 2005, if i ask the dealer ship would they be able to tell me?

...I bet Randy's ring and pinion would give you the best answers but trying with the dealership first may give you a little more info before you call randy's and it couldn't hurt..

i'll call randys but on there web site they do nothing for the super 30, do you know if the internals from a soild axle dana 30 would work, i'll call randys towmorrow though

...I know nothing about the new Rangers front ends myself...

...Randy's website has a few errors and not updated well but talking to them after the dealership would be my suggestion..

...You can also ask your dealership parts dept. for a printed diagrahm of your front end parts after you get it all figured out...:biggthump

..If no one else chimes in here and gives you any better answers to your question, be sure to post back here what you found out..

...I'm sure it will help plenty of other newer Ranger owners..:biggthump

 

[turbolab]

confirmed that it is a dana 35 and apperently they used them from 98, here is a print out with the shape of the cover hope this helps any one else

 

[Tbars4]

...Looks like you made it to Ford and not only got your confirmation but also, a blow up of all it's parts...

...Thanks for sharing that info with us as I'm sure it will help others too..:biggthump

randys ring and pinion uses a picture of a jeep rear dana 35 cover so when you are trying to find what u have by the cover it looks like a super 30 but the ifs dana 35 is a little squared on the corners, thats were i got confused
