White91XLT

You have 3.55
 






Thanks!!!
 






The 91 has 3.55 open, but will be swapped for 4.56's when i finally get the lift under her. Oh, and a locker.

The 92 has 3.55 open, and since its my daily driver, the only thing im doing is adding LS to both axles.
 






Code 46 Differential

Tried to find out what Differential Code 46 means at a previously posted link, but the page at that link was dead...so I'd like to know what I have too (my guess is 3:73)
thanks, 2med
 






Good guess...code 46 is a open 3.73.
 






Open 3:73's

csxtrainman,

Thanks for the confirmation on that Code 46. That's good to know.

My good guess was based on the way the X responds to a throttle increase. It has good, smooth power but not as wound up as a 4:11 would feel

No problem 2Med, always glad to help.
 






I got a 1992 ford explorer the code is 46 on the drivers side door. Its got a 4" rancho lift and a 3" body lift. I just installed 33x12.5 thornbird super swampers tires. I noticed I've lost some power. Can you tell me the best gears to install for this kind of lift and tires and were I can go for the cheapest price on the parts. I already got somebody to install. I just need to know what kind of parts I need. And what is a locker? See my ride at the following address http://members.cardomain.com/oscarnec
 






csxtrainman It seems like you Know a lot about this help me out THANKS
 












big X= 5.13's locked f&r
junior stock 3.73's with l/s
 






I gotta go with 5.13s, since that is what came in the 3rd Member I got. Then again, that is just another purdy thing sitting in the utility room for now.:(
 






Just found out last night that my 95 that I just bought has the factory 3.73 Traction-Lok!! Yeee haa that will save me some money for a while. I am sure I will eventually want to step into something like a 4.10 or 4.56 when I go to 32's.
