It's an 8.8 with reverse rotation gears.
Forget Summit. Call a company like Reider Racing or equivalent. Someone that knows differentials. I have Precision Gear sets. Good gears, but I think I would install either SVO or Motive if I were to do it again. Precision Gears are plenty tuff, but I think the finish machining, lapping, etc. is better on the SVO or Motive. That would translate to a little quieter running gear. And possibly a little less heat.

What's the Diff.
O.K. I am sure that this has been on here before, but what kind is the front axle in a 98 4x4? The guy at the dealer claims it to be an 8.8 and the summit rep. says it is a Dana 44. What is it, getting rready to swap out the NOISEY factory Ford 3:55s' for 4:10s'. Any input would be great.

JEFF3021,
You have a flipped lincoln 8.8 differential in the front. You will need reverse cut gears. Ford racing makes a 3.73 or a 4.10 reverse cut gear for this setup. Richmond gear also make gears. Check out http://www.ring-pinion.com/index.html They are very competetive and quite knowledgeable.

This is along the same topic, and I was hoping you'll could help me out. I have a 97 4x4 4.6l 5speed, and I am looking for some additoinal power. I rarely tow anything, and I was wondering if I could change out the gears...whatever it takes to get some more ummfffff if you know what I mean. I have already bought a couple engine and exhaust mods, so now I am looking into my trany and such. Please advise with info,prices,rumors, whatever you'll know about.
