[wwmod]

You should have the D35 up front if you have the 8.8" rear (4.0L engine?)

I have not seen any examples of the TTB axle having a carrier break. The 4.10 gears should fit your existing carrier even if you have 3.27 gears now.


Hope that helps

it is 4.0L i called randys and they told 410's wouldn't fit and that was a d28 i went to ford to run the vin and to no avail they couldn't tell me **** either but regardless i still need 1 no thanks to rough country drop brackets and the weakest front springs i had to order 5.5" front coils is there a way to identify this diff and possibly the spline count any info would be great thanks

95 Ranger + 4.0 = D35, regardless of what Randy's told you.

i figured out how to tell the difference 10 bolts=d35 12 bolts =d 28 so any way thanks for the help

Yep, built that from scratch (if you've ever priced ones from Con-Ferr or another manufacturer, you'll know why).

Since gas prices have shot up so high now, I took it off. It was impacting my mileage too much to justify having it up there with the amount that I ever actually used it.

As for your axle, the 12-bolt D28 was never used on your model year.
It IS possible however for a "hybrid" D28/35 axle to be under there IF you did not have a 4.0L engine. The easiest way to identify these is the smooth lower diff housing on it (a true D35 has large reinforcing ribs on the bottom).
