View Full Version : question about rear end gears? joshyx Jan 22 2002, 10:02am i just found out that my 85 2.3 ranger has 3.08's(axle 82)...right now im running 31" tires...could someone tell me what my overall ratio is running these tires? i thought for sure i had 3.45's, i guess not...i guess this explains why my truck is so slow lol...thanks later Josh joshyx Jan 22 2002, 10:07am the axle code on my 96 is 84..this is according to http://www.therangerstation.com/Axles.html ...is this right? i thought i had 3.73s but now i think i have 3.45s...thanks 2.3XLT Jan 22 2002, 10:38am ouch 3.08 (more like 2.6* with those 31's) must be painful for the little 2.3. code 86 means a 3.73 ratio so yeah, you probably do have 3.45's. having 3.73's in that 96 and 4.10's in that 85 will relieve a lot of stress off of the engine as well as make them both drive better - especially that 85'. joshyx Jan 22 2002, 10:46am haha, thats exactly what i have planned...what's weird is that with my 3.45s i felt that my truck is pretty quick..i can just imagine how its gonna be with the 3.73's joshyx Jan 22 2002, 01:36pm where's the best place to get some sets of gears(besides ford)? or should i just swap out the whole rear end? thanks big red Jan 22 2002, 08:42pm I got a set of 3.73's if you want them 2.3XLT Jan 22 2002, 08:56pm whenever you need something like that, always hit the local junkyards first. saves you lots of money in the long run if you find what you need there joshyx Jan 23 2002, 01:06am Originally posted by big red I got a set of 3.73's if you want them just give me a price and we'll work something out...will i need anything else besides what you have? |
