- 2003 Explorer XLT 4.6 4WD
OK I searched every where and keep coming up with a mixed numbers.
I have a 2002 Explorer XLT with the 4.0 V6 2WD, with a door sticker with axle code 45.
I have found conflicting numbers on this code a number of sites say it is 4.10 or 3.73
I also just got a 03 XLT 4.6 V8 4WD and a door code of D4, there all agree it IS Limited Slip 3.73.
The 02 runs at higher RPMS on the highway so I firmly think it is a 4.10.
Yet this site reports: 2002 Ford Explorer Powertrain - Ford-Trucks.com
A 3.27 axle ratio is standard for all automatic 4×2 XLS and XLT
models. A 3.55 axle ratio is standard on 4×4 manual XLS, 4×4 XLT,
Eddie Bauer and Limited models. A 3.73 axle ratio and limited slip
differential are standard with the Class III/IV towing package.
So are the 3.27 and 3.55 used at all??
And it does not list the 4.10 at all.
Can anyone confirm the 02 is running a 4.1??
Thanks.
