    Who's running 285/75r16?

    Looking for some front diff clarification

    Housings and carriers are all different. Any gear set (ring and pinion) from a Dana 30 will work in the front you just have to use a super 30 install kit (bearings, shims etc) instead of a standard dana 30 kit. Some came with 4.10's but very rare, they are slightly more common in the the 06-10...

    TIre Size and Highway Driving

    Will the front diff assembly from any other Explorer or Sport Trac or Ranger bult right into the front of the gen 3? I know its way more common to find a Sport, Sport Trac or Ranger with 4.10's.

    Looking for some front diff clarification

    Looking at gear options for my '02. What other Explorers/Rangers used the Dana super 30 front diff assembly that will bolt right in? I know some of the Sport Tracs and Rangers came with factory 4.10 gears. If i can find one of those complete assemblies I can swap that in and only have worry...

    TIre Size and Highway Driving

    More concerned with wear and tear. At this point poor mileage is inevitable. Yes they did do factory 4.10's, pretty rare, axle code 42 is open 4.10, code D2 is limited slip 4.10. After the suspension lift, the down travel is not great (obviously) trying to gain a little more "reach" with the 33's.

Currently at 70 MPH Im about 2000 RPM, and it shifts, well it shift enough, more than with the stock...

    Spartan Locker

    Interesting, I thought I knew just about everything on the gen3 but I didnt know they came with a factory 4.10. My day job includes going to a lot of wrecking yards, now I have a new mission!

    Spartan Locker

    Swapping the entire diff would be the ticket except Im pretty sure that all the V8's came with the limited slip and 3.73 gears. So Im not going to swap to a open diff with 3.55 and then have to re-gear, because I have the 4.6 with 3.73 and limited slip.

    Spartan Locker

    If you brown wire mod your xfer case that would pretty much solve the neutral issue. I drive around 99% of the time in 2 wheel drive thanks to that.

    Anyone use any of the Powertrax products in the front diff of the gen 3?

    Seat Swap

    3rd gen Sport seats installed in my 3rd gen 4 door. Not a bolt in, but worth it, so much more bolstering, and the foam is more comfortable too. Having trouble getting any pictures on here.

    Seat Swap

    Swapping the front seats in my gen3 to seats from a gen3 SPORT. its going to be a pain but Im going to make it work one way or another. Anyone else done gen3 front seat swaps or seen it done?

    Trans upgrades...

    The problem is that the case is the problem with ALL of them, and they will all eventually wear out.

    Trans upgrades...

    Oh how much would I love to swap in a 5.0 trans from a 2nd gen with a FX4 Level II Ranger manual xfer case and solid 8.8 rear axle.......the best of everything.

    Trans upgrades...

    Well that sucks. After the install did you notice a difference in shifts? (before it started slipping)

    Trans upgrades...

    I did what the video shows, let it run and shifted through all of the gears slowly a few times. Drove gently around town for a couple days then more like I normally would. It definitely took a few days of warming things up to running temps before it "re-learned" the shift points and I noticed a...

    Trans upgrades...

    When you did this, did you use a dowel rod and sand the bore like the video shows?

    Been driving on the new solenoid pack for a few days and Id say shirts are a little bit better.
