The ground
Turbos and brake shoes last me over 500k miles. I had a 2001 freightliner FLD with a 60 series detroit. I got 1.7 million miles out of the truck before I sold it. Only engine work done was to replace the head gasket at 1 million miles. Clutch went out at 1.4 million miles. Christmas eve one year, I was in half moon bay, ca and lost the parking valve on the dash. I was able to put bolts in each brake can and drive to phoenix with the front axle brakes. Not a single mechanic would come out to work on it.
As early as twenty years ago, air disc brakes were widely used throughout Europe for all wheel positions. Haldex has been a significant supplier of air disc brakes to this established market producing more than 1.7 million trailer air disc brakes.
In the mid 90´s a technology shift took place in EU on brake systems. Driven by the truck market, and Daimler in particular, an Electronic Brake System (EBS) replaced the former Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). At the same time wheel-end technology shifted from drum brake to disc brakes (ADB). The driving forces for these changes were mainly improved braking performance utilized by better control of brake forces (EBS) and a more stable braking performance over the wheel end temperature range and lower hysteresis (ADB). Over a time period of about five years the EU truck and trailer industry shifted from ABS w/drum to EBS w/ADB and in early 2000 approximately 70% of the market had adopted these new technologies.

Per usual we are behind the times.
I am talking specifically about heavy trucks carrying liquid loads.

What does this have to do with a 1st Generation Explorer?
Another copypasta?
What's the matter? You don't like to read? Or you just like to deal with anecdotal info and not facts?
Ford didnt make a D35 TTB 4.10 front diff?????
I list 3.27-4.56 as factory options for the D35 ttb? I know 4.56 is very rare but I thought some 4.1 did leave the factory?
Its only MONEY!!
I am speaking from my personal experience tho
WORD UP!!Ford Absolutely offered the D35 4:10 stock! I swapped in a stock 4:10 front pumpkin and a 2nd gen 8.8, into the 1994 Explorer years & years ago. Even did the C-clip eliminator mod, & threw in a locker to boot. Safe to say it does indeed work.
Plenty of pictures documenting this swap in the Pugly thread, linked in my Signature.
