OK we need some checking on this, because I trust the source that says there is a 31 spline 8.8 and I trust the source that says there is not a 31 spline 8.8.

I plan on putting up articles this fall with some of the info we are gathering, but I really want it to be dead accurate so we can be a reliable resource.

I am pretty sure the 31 spline 8.8 exists in a stock ranger but have not determined if it is a "big tube" meaning is the housing the same diameter as what the explorer housing is.

Dealer options were sometimes vague. I remember back in the early sunroof days I actually knew a guy that worked at a place in Michigan that dealers would send the car to if the customer ordered a sun roof. Brand new cars from the dealer.

SO on the build list there would be nothing about a sun roof but the owner is sure they got a sun roof when they bought the car new. Both would be true.

Perhaps the same thing was happening with rear ends.

One of the members here has a manual shift transfer case. I have never heard of one on a ranger unless it was installed by an enthusiast. I have reached a dead end on that because alldata does not show a ranger with a manual transfer case. Maybe I just are green on using alldata or maybe it should be called somedata.
