That's a closed knuckle 60. Burfield type.

yup and the 5.87 gears gives itaway that its not a D44...they are 5.89s in D44s and they were never in there stock...

OK -I wondered -I think I'll hold out for a open knuckle king pin style.

I found one of those the other day at pick-n-pull.

 

[redrock]

hey at a pick-n-pull have you guys ever seen a 8.8 i never been and just wondering what you guys think it would cost

 

[Caleb]

well rear axles out of trucks and suvs are all the same price...I believe they are about $100 a piece...I cant say I have specifically seen an 8.8 but I'm sure there are some in there...in pickups not explorers, I dont think I have ever seen an explorer in the pick n pull either...

correct me if i am wrong but do the pickup have the disk brakes i have heard that explore has them thats what turn me on to get the 8.8

How old?

Could be D30/D44
or D44/D44

Depends on the year,,

That bites...about a year ago I got my 14 bolt from you pull it for $100 or so...

nope the pickups dont have disc brakes and they are usually around 65" wide instead of 60" or so like the explorers...only 95 or newer explorers have discs and you dont usually see anything that new in the pick n pull...

I know, Kinda like NPS, Prices just keep going up... Sonner or later they will price themselves out of the Discounted places.

so it might be better to just find a D44 then sound like to me

I'm a firm believer that the 44 is better than the 8.8...plus its a lot easier and cheaper to find then the 8.8 too...and parts are usually cheaper and you have a lot more gear selection in the 44...JMO

so when looking, whats a good rig to get them out of? i am knew to all this upgrading

 

[Caleb]

well there are so many vehicles its hard to say what specifically...whats it going into and what is your desired width??? something I took into consideration when I chose my 14 bolt was look at the vehicle and think about if it could have lived a hard life...for example a 14 bolt out of a C&C tow truck has had a lot harder life(always loaded to its max...etc)then my 14 bolt that came out of a Suburban...another thing to consider is bolt pattern and are you doing the front too...
