Tech Gear Question

Ninjawafers! · August 26th, 2006, 08:48 AM

Im sure that this has been said before but i cant find the link for it... so I was wondering what all needs to be done to install a T-Loc and 4.10 gears in my 96 v6. I have come to understand that i have a 7.5 rear end, and i was also wondering if an 8.8 is better. If so, then what all would i need to change it? Im planning to do all this myself by the way. Thanks in advacne!

Unless you have all the specialty tools required for changing out gears, I'd leave it up to the professionals. It could be VERY dangerous if they aren't installed correctly.

If you want a 8.8 you can get new one from a Ford dealer that sales Ford Racing Parts.

It has 3.73 gears and a Tloc.
Just swap over your brakes and axles from your 7.5 rear axle and install the new 8.8 rear axle.
