speedo will be in the trans. the abs light crawl under it and make sure it is pluged in and or is installled on the top of the rear end.

no wrong the 8.8 had the speedo on the differental.. its a ring thats why is suck when you try and up grade... i have the same truck and found all this out...

on the 87 thru 92 8.8's the speedo hook up was not in the rear end from 93 on they were. So that is the problem your gonna have.

yeah all 93 and up ford trucks speedomoeters were ran into the transmission thats why people have such hard times when they want to put 9 inches in the rear of them but u prolly have a rear end out of and older model which is ok because junkyards want so much for ur body style 8.8

okay so the hook up for the speedometer is on top of the dif case, above the driveshaft, but why wouldnt the rear end have abs i know it is from before 93. Does the rear end have to do with abs? i thought the brakes only did. Also how do i find out if this rear end will work with my front, i hear that you will tear up ur transfer case if the rear end isnt in sync with the front end? im nopt to sure i just dont wanna fuck up my shit when i put it in 4x4. i havnt yet just in case. And yes the od light im worried about that it starts to blink when i guess it kicks in to overdrive, because if im at idle it doesnt blink when i start it, but when i get going it dont stop

dialdin

if they told u it had a 355 gear then it will be the same for the front and u will be ok i deal with trucks all the time i know alot of shit

StermeR

does it matter what kind of rear u have to have abs?

StermeR

i was pretty sure ithad the right gears i trust them i just wanted to make sure before i put it in 4x4 u know what i mean
