I could've sworn that there was a sticky for this popular upgrade, but since I can't find it.....
I'm thinking about dropping an 8.8 into the TJ and was curious if there was a pattern to finding out what gears an 8.8 would have based on the drivetrain options of the donor vehicle. My jeep has the 3.73 gears and I would like to go to the 4.10 gears, so an 8.8 that already has the 4.10 gears would let me get away with only having to regear the dana 30. While I'm in the junk yard, what year explorers should I be targeting and what engine tranny combo's would have the 4.10 gears?
