Your best bet us to join one of the many ranger web forums and ask there.

looks like i got a super 30 now the only issue is no one make gears for it so i need to find out if dana 30 gears will work. i'm supprised there is no after market support for these trucks they were number one selling midsize from 1989 to 2005

You have a Dana 35. I believe it is standard rotation (as opposed to reverse-rotation.)

i'm going to talk with dealer towmorrow because the cover is shaped like a super 30, i hope it's a dana 35 though because they don't make gears for the super 30. u are the first to give me a straight answer and i hope you are right. i'm over on explorerforum.com to with the same Q.

I second the dana 35 on the ranger.

The Ranger has used a Dana 35 center section with the IFS since 1998 (it was a reverse rotation Dana 35 unit with the TTB before that.) The Explorer since 1995, the Aerostar since the late 1980's.

IIRC, there is a Torsen gear-drive limited slip available for the Dana 35. I'm pretty sure a TruTrac is available also. You can't go wrong with either of these (depending on your application/needs, of course.)

i got it covered it was throughing me off becarse randys ring and pinion shows a jeep dana 35 witch is round and as you can see the ranger dana 35 has square edges, so when i looked under the truck at first glance it looked super 30 (similar in shape to jeep dana 30 cover)

i'm very happy that i got a dana 35 because i have gear options now

I should have said "high pinion", not reverse rotation. High pinion, as opposed to the solid axle (Jeep style) standard pinion. Yes, they are not interchangeable.
