It does seem high from you guys are saying, and they did say it would a used dif/axle from another ranger (approx. 79K miles on it, mine has 75K) I think ill call around, or see what my options may be elsewere. The 1200-1300 is for labor, rearaxle, rear dif etc.
Zach. I see the differences your talking about, but what will that do to improve, or w/e. Or what makes that better than the other axle?

No offence to the OP but it doesnt sound like he has the skill to install a Explorer Axle into his truck. It's not very hard, but there is welding and lots of grinding/cutting. Sounds like your best bet would be to find a Ranger axle with L/S and the same gear ratio as your current rear. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a 31 spline Lvl II axle.
Edit: Your in IN, Pay Zach to do it for you.

Where is the truck now man? Think we can get it on a trailer? Would you be interested in getting an axle from a junk yard? If I have time tomorrow I will swing by and take a look at it. If its as simple as a axle swap I can give you a hand. Saturday I am jam packed tho...
Do you have the equipment to go pickup your own axle at a junk yard? I can call a few places too.
If you would rather just pay someone I understand but I think we could work something out that would be much cheaper for you...
Shoot me a PM

Expo diff is a 31 spline with larger axle shafts and no c-clips.
However the Expo diff is spring under so you'll have to cut the shock mounts and spring perches to relocate them to a spring over setup.

I just called 2 junkyards and they want way too much. 500 is the lowest quote I got...
I sold my last one for 200. lol IDK why they think they need that much for it.
We would need to find one for 200-250 inorder to make it worth it below your deductable. so you might as well claim it under insurance.
