1996 bronco eb 5.8 what are stock differentials?

[joshmccln]

starting to do a little more off roading and i was wondering if someone could tell me what is the stock differential that comes in the front and rear of a 1996 bronco ed 5.8

Welcome to Bronco Zone!!! The axles would be a Dana44 TTB (TwinTractionBeam) front, with a Ford 8.8" rear. Check some of the pinned topics for info on axle codes and gear ratios, JSM84

thanks man ill look into it i knew that the back was a 8.8 but was not sure on the front had only chevys so far except for a 92 bronco that i had untill i ran into a tree three months down the road i kinda new to the ttb

 

[joshmccln]

yea looked up the axle code and found out it was open diff which brought a tear to my eye. cant believe a eddie bauer would have a open diff i was hoping for a ls but thanks for the help

 

[Justshootme84]

What is the axle code?

 

[joshmccln]

off the door the axle code is 19 the metal tag is still on the diff but didnt bother to check it cause i figured it would tell me the same thing non ls with 3.55 gear ratio but if i am wrong please let me know

yo!

19 is the 3:55 "open" diff for the 8.8

Now, to verify that the 8.8 is Still there; look @ this 8.8 Cover Depiction

If not; then match it up to others, such as the good old 9" and Dana 60 etc by Ventures @ http://www.venturesparts.com/index.php?page=rear-axle-identification

 

[joshmccln]

im almost positive its a 8.8 but ill double check when i get out of class at 9

 

[joshmccln]

sorry about this takin so long internet has been down but yea its for sure a 8.8

 

[Justshootme84]

Yes, you and Miesk5 are correct, 19 or I9 is "open" 3.55 gears. You have the option of adding the trac-Lok limited slip or swapping in a carrier, ring & pinion from an H9 or factory L/S rearend. The better option is to add a new unit, as the factory ones are often worn out and need new clutches. Whatever the case, it would help out to have at least rear limited slip for offroad use. IF you plan to add a lift kit and run taller tires, when you go to re-gear the axles would be a good time to add the L/S or even a locker. JSM84

yea i think im going to go with a posi but gonna look around at some more reviews because its my dd im gonna be puttin them on and as far as ring and pinion go i would be amazed if they were 3.55's because im able to turn 35" mt's over on concrete so im probly just gonna leave them alone and get a 3.93 and down posi diff......at least this is what i have been thinking
