Will this work??
I have brand new 4:10 gears that I had bought for my 2001 Mustang GT but never put them in. My question is will these work in my 01 F150? I thought I read somewhere that they both have the 8.8 rear end. does anyone know if they'll work? I'd love to put them in my truck if they will. Thanks!

Sorry, I'm new to the F150 boards and wasn't clear in my post! :o I don't have a Lightning. It's an 01 supercab w/ 4.6. I posted in the Lightning board because it had the most people in it. Sorry Lighning guys.
I found some specs on the 01 and it looks like they came with either 8.8 or 9.75, depending on whether or not you got the tow package. So mine "may" have the 8.8. If it does, would the gears work? I know the Mustangs have 8.8. They are brand new FRPP 4.10 gears btw. Still in the box.

So will the 4.10's make a decent difference in how this truck feels? I know they make a big difference in the Stangs.

If its an 8.8 and the other one was an 8.8, yes they will work.
Just make sure you check it and shim it right, all three shims.
If you do not shim it right it will have noise.

The 88 in the number number group means it is an 8.8 rear end.
Example:
S832J
31 88 5DC3
would mean that it is a Ratio 3.31 to 1, 8.8 rear end, made on 3 April 1995 at the Sterling Plant. Also there is a 3 in front of the 31 but you can not see it most of the time until you take the tag off.
