Does anyone know if the 3:73 ring gear and traction lock setup in my 93 mustang 8.8 will work in my 88 f-150 8.8?

I want to say the trac loc is 31 spline...so you'll need a set of axles.

Think about it...an 8.8 3.73 is an 8.8 3.73..so it will work.

The stock trac lok is 28 spline....so if the F-150 axles are 28 spline it will work.

Whoops, read it wrong. I thought you were wanting the f-150 stuff in the stang. Like maverick stated...the stang is 28 spline while the f-150 is 31.
