I have been debating swapping my rear axle for some time now, and have recently found a possible local donor.
It a Explorer axle, from a '01 Sport, wrecked in the front, no rear damage, engine was not pushed back. Axle code is D4, which is supposed to be a 3:73 Limited slip. There is only 75k miles on the truck, and it was pristine, I mean this thing was in great shape before the wreck!
Talked to the owner and $150 plus I take it off, will buy it.
My truck right now is 3:55 open diff, front and rear, I would have to swap out the front to 3:73 later to use the 4x4. I have 31's and several of the usual bolt on performance stuff, lots of power but mileage sucks ass.
So my question is, should I get the axle and stick with 3:73's, or swap to 4:10's later, or keep looking for a factory 4:10 axle?
