tate please tell me you are not gonna try and tow your bronco with that light weight truck, the bronco weighs more than the truck, alright

You really should have a weight distributing hitch and electric brakes with that much weight. I know you're kind of broke and that **** would cost a good bit o cash, but it'd suck worse to have a totaled truck/trailer/bronco when it sways too much or you can't stop. Or of course you could just go slow.

For a complete axle. Let's see...$50 for a set of USED gears (plus may need new bearing for pinion, crush sleave etc. and time to install it) or $80 for a COMPLETE Axle drum to drum...Hmmm.. I'm no Scientologist (stealing Jerry's line) but, I think that Awesome has better deal

if you find a 2000 ford 8.8 rear end with 4.10's in it at a junk yard for 80...let me know and ill come get it(even though i dont have any use for it)...my point is, i doubt your gonna find many 8.8's up there with 4.10's in them....its not a stock ratio for the trucks those axles came in....also i highly doubt that he would be able to find those gears in a 8.8 that came out of the body style he has. if im not mistaken, the speed sensor is in the rear axle...and im sure it has some ABS horse hocky as well....therefore if he finds an axle up there for 80, and then pulls the gears out of it....he would have to then put them in his axle and so on and so on....so he would still need to get all that stuff as well...

There were quite a few 97' and up ford F-150's in the yard. I would think if the truck came w/ a V-6 (and they make a lot of them) that there is a good chance that it has 4.10's

sadly enough, i think ford thinking is exactly opposite of yours(and mine as well) the 9" that i put in my truck to replace my old 8.8, was out of a V6 ford and it had 2.72 gears....mine stock with a V8 had 3.55's

What you expect a 9" from a car to have?

It never came it a truck with a v6. And the I6 had more torque and low end power than the 302 in truck anyway, so it'd only make sence to have higher gears.

v6 might have 4.10s, but I think that was from a carb'ed emissions era 300ci truck. Don't they redline at 4000?

yes but i seriously doubt that any newer 1/2 ton vehicle(american that is) comes with 410's...im no expert though

And a 6 cylinder truck from the days of 9"s would have the cylinders lined up properly.
