Hey guys. I know im supposed to just use the search function but it cant really find any decent info from it and decided to ask drectly. i have a 91 maverick 4.2 petrol with 5 speed man. The Compliance plate by the washer bottle says Axle- HG39 is that the diff ratio i have 3.9? or is it a code for another ratio? any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i have the same ratios as dan, unfortunatly the mavericks were a mixed bag, came out with what ever was in their warehouse at the time. The best way to find out is to jack up the car, spin the rear wheels, and watch how many times the drive shaft spins (obv the car has to be in neutral) if it spins less then four u have 3.9's, more then four and you have 4.1's if its easier for you put a paint mark on one point so you can see.

My Mav is the poverty pack and come out with 4.11's because it originally had the split rims with 7.50/16's.
HG41 is the compliance tag.
4.625's fixed it right up once the 35's went on.
From what I can make out any of the ones that come out with the wide wheel kit had 3.9's because the factory BIG wheels were a huge 31x10.5.
Mine was originally a 4.2 petrol 5 speed.

4.3s are sought after, 3.9's are about as popular as John Holmes at a Lezzo beach.

I wish there were more 4.3's available here....
the trucks that have them don't appear in the wreckers too often.

Yeah thanks bogged, someone suggested i try brunswick last year which i did, the cost of shipping was dearer than the diffs...

Step away from the crack pipe Tom I REPEAT step away from the crack pipe
You'll get $150 for a good 4.11 centre and 4.3 are very much sort after
If you can get 4.3 ratios for under $550 a pair let me know where
