now the trac loc info was very useful thanx

 

Dude.

I don't know what you're smoking, but I'd quit.

Explorer rear ends will have a 70.3mm center bore; Dakotas have a 71.5mm center bore. They're CLOSE, and most Explorer wheels will fit (and the Dakota wheels fit the Explorer as long as they're lug nut centric not hub centric), but ... they're not the same (as anyone who's tried to remove a Mustang or Explorer wheel from a Dakota will vouchsafe for.)

Getting back to traction assist - that wire for the sensor? Is for ABS. Traction Assist is an extension of ABS.

Now, the Explorer could still have been ordered with a TrakLok differential; or a previous owner could have upgraded; but TA <> limited slip differential, so I'd look harder at Explorers WITHOUT the TA button. (I'd also check the tag, and I'd ALSO suggest rebuilding a 20+ year old TrakLok before streeting it myself. But eh; your choice.)

I'm trying to keep correct information.

If that "calls you a liar", well .. maybe you ought to research a bit? Check things out? Maybe, oh, I don't know, learn how to logically think about things?

But your choice.

RwP

 

you should rewrite this info as a sticky for the forum cause i'm no good at that just an idea

 

i have no copywrites for it not even on fb lol i'm 56 and i just look at marketplace lol good deals!!!

 

if you are finance incompatent like me and you want a quick alternate rear end that is easy to find and will upgrade your stopping power and help you from getting stuck in wet grass here is you a choice if you would like the details on the perticulars you will have to consult other members of the forum but it will work is that better

 

and i never said the wheels were the same just you had more choices cause the BOLT PATT was the same and that was centered towards the guys with 6 bolt lugs

 

the most drastic thing that happened to my truck after i installed this re was the fact that the truck would stop cause i didn't realize how under performing the brakes were on the factory dakota brakes

 

and if giving my personal intake on this info offends your personall smoking habits then far be it from me to interupt a bowl of your politically correct habits just keep smokin your pipe and i'll keep pimpin hoes and smokin crack like apparently i must be doin

 

if i were to have asked does anyone know a cheap avail way to upgrade my dakota re what answer would i have got i can bet it wouldn't have been an explorer and i'm all ears and pipes on the answer you would give to that question

 

so there you have it mr spock my logic has ran out i'm gonna klingon out of this
