good job, whenever I have a new problem, I usually start the diagnosis at the last fix I did - maddeningly that usually is the issue.

So my wife for my birthday asked me what I wanted. I said I want a 3.55 rear end with traction-lok. She said if you can find it, you can get it. Unfortunately I have been unable to find one. I went to look at a 99 cvpi in a junkyard yesterday, while it did have a 3.55, it was an open diff. So I let it be. I decided to wander and see what else I could find. Lo and behold I found a complete set of HPP rims on a vehicle in the yard. I called the wife and she said go for it. So they came home with me. Now to find center caps and lugnuts.1 Photo

99-00 P71 and HPP and Town Car Signature Touring sedans came from the factory with Aluminum Driveshafts, and 3.55 rear end ratios. It's the traction-lok that is hard to find. Those are the direct swap into my era of Vic.

What spline is the car? Would a 31 spline explorer Trac loc work? I think some of the rangers had 8.8 28 spline Trac loc?

Up until about 2005 all Panther platform cars had 28 spline. After that they changed to 31 spline. my 96 Town car I had is still kicking around. Saw it the other day. When I got rid of it, it was around 230k and running like a swiss watch.

I would start looking under rangers while at the junk yard for a trac loc 28 spline 8.8 I think most will be open 7.5 but I think some had 8.8
that or a V8 mustang

Not sure I know guys put the 31 spine explorer carriers in mustang housing and I think they might have the tone ring? I think the 8.8 is one of the few things that Ford made fairly interchangeable

OOhhhh - Pirellis! We have 'em on the HHR and they've been amazing. We've had them for several years and maybe 50K miles (I'm guessing here) and they still look almost new but have decent traction and ride (so they're not just hard). Love them along with the Michelins I've been running for years on Truck.
Looking forward to more pics!
