Jtrux Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Unfortunately, you bought a less desirable 9". If it did in fact come from an F100, it has 28 spline shafts and small bearing ends iirc. Been a while since I really dived into it but that sounds right. The F150s had 31 spline shafts and large bearings ends.

Jtrux Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Just saw that it was free, but still, it is probably not worth swapping it in. A Ford 8.8 would probably suit you better. Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxso32 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Easy job to do, the small bearing 28 spline isn't terrible. Worst comes to worst, bring it to a speed/machine shop and have them weld torino or big bearing ends on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
