$130 isnt bad. Is that already pulled or do you have to pull it?

They'd pull it. If I had it my way, I'd pull it cause the guy said it'd be a few days and I'm sitting going I can have it done in a few hours, but that's not my job. Anyway, that's just one axle. I can't seem to find a Dana 35 with 3.73 gears :/ None of the wrecking yards have them. Rangers or Explorers.

Also, who knows if it's bent or not.. Haha

Do you know how to check if it's a good or bad axle? In terms of being bent or not haha

Highly doubt the axle will be bent, takes a really hard impact to bend one of those baby's. If it's bent you can replace one for less than $100

From people at work and around, people keep telling me that most stuff from a wrecking yard is bad, and to stray away from it, while I'm sitting here going, eh it's only $130, that's not terrible. It's not like I'm loosing $3,000. So I'll probably get the Rear axle with the 3.73's and then the hunt for the front Dana 35 with 3.73's is still going. Going to call around some more wrecking yards to see if they got one that I can come take

Found a front! But, the only question is, will it work?

As you can see from the picture, it's coming out of a Mazda (Mazda's had Dana 35's?!?!) Will it bolt up to my 92 Ranger Dana 35?

Sadly, I'm not going to be much help on these older generation Rangers....

I'll dig around some and see if I can verify anything.

I can't seem to find anything. Then again I am on my phone so it makes it harder.
