Not sure but we are better off getting one out of an Explorer because it has disc brakes already instead of dumb I mean drum brakes.
I forgot which model you suggested in the past. Explorer. Got it.

Hey, on our little run last sat, I didn't start to get fade until we hit Whittier Bl. on the way back. Actually drum brakes have more surface area for stopping than Disc.:drink:

No rolling fiction until brake shoes touch the drum.:bigthumbsup:

I was joking with one of the guys last Sunday, probably Leedom; we could take it to the track, blow up the rear end in the first pass or two. The announcer will go, "well, that's it for them today." Of course, they don't know we'll have a rear end ready to swap, and we come back around two hours later. :drive:
Yeah that was me.

If a NA stock diff can take 500hp, why not try it out?

I'm with SSCobra, on the exploder diff. Additionally, most Ranger diffs are open. I think only the 4wd Rangers have LSD in the rear.
