1st gen rear end swap info to give
#12
well you see the wheels on that 88 they all have the same cb if you want to get another re for your truck and you want to fix the re that's in it i'm happy for you till you rear end mine cause you can't stop the truck cause your brake suck and you wanted the same center bore but at least you didn't have to buy 6 lug wheels was my point
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.
