Found a Ford 8.8
There is an old man parting out a 92 Explorer. It has an 8.8 with drum brakes. I am pretty sure I can get it for dirt cheap. What do I need to look for? Do I need to check if it has ABS? Is there anything else I need to snag other than the axle? Can I convert the drums to disk? Would it be worth converting drums to disk? I was trying to find out what gear ratio it had but the tag was just a whole bunch of random #'s.

Bill,
did you miss the search function after finding the 8.8?  BTW, Superior makes a Super 88 upgrade for that axle. Hunter

Thanks Hunter!! The Super 88 doesn't convert drums to disk though. Should I keep looking for an 8.8 with disk brakes?

You weren't invited last year, why do you think you'd be invited this year?

Pop the cover and the gear ratio will be stamped on the ring gear.
