99 xlt rear end removal/install help

[twiggy1029]

I have a '99 explorer xlt with a 4.10 limited slip differental and was wanting to know if i could replace it with a 3.27 differential that isnt limited slip. The tag on the 4.10 says S615E and the tag off the one i want to switch it with says S610E. If its possible, does anyone have how-to for that?

Are you 2wd, and, or 4wd? What is the 3.27 axle out of?

WHY???

Why would you want to remove a 4.1 axle and replace with a 3.27?

YES since you are rear wheel drive you can swap axles.
All 95-01 V6 rear axles will interchange = unbolt the old, bolt in the new, bleed brakes, fill diff with fluid
Your speedometer will be waaaay off since you went from 4.1 to 3.27 would require some tuning to get the speedometer back to close

Why do you want to remove the 4.10 limited slip?

It is no good, it makes a terrible sound going more than 20 mph.
