Our '96 4.0 has a 3:73 trac loc.

Yeah, the one we worked on was a 2WD V6.

As far as trac-loc, I am pretty sure it was a towing package thing in the Explorers. However, I did not know that they were 31 spline

I would hope so since the 'splined' end of an axle/halfshaft has to go through them

I am a vendor on Explorerforum so I am very familiar with these vehicles. On Gen1 (1990-94) are open and 28T unless it has a towing package. If I am not mistaken these have small bearing axles in them. All Gen 2 (1995-2001 2-only v6 or 4 door v-8 or v6)/sport trac up to 2005 have 31T carrier with big bearing axles. 90% have Trac Lok rears,especially 1997 and later models. Gen 3 (2002 4 doors) have independant rears with 31T aluminum center sections. All Gen 4 2006-current 4doors & Sport Tracs have independant rear with 31T center sections. The primary gears you will find in these are 3.55-3.73, some models have 4.10-very few. The towing package always includes the Trac Lok-j
