I know the Ford 8.8 is great to bolt up to a jeep for a rear axle change. I know that in the full size trucks the 8.8 did not hold up
I've never seen an issue with an 8.8 in a full size truck. They held up a hell of a lot better than Dodge's 9.25.
In an A-body, you're not going to hurt an 8.8
In a hemi car or something like it, yeah, I wouldnt use an 8.8. but then again, even Chrysler refused to put an 8.75 in a hemi car.....
theyre both good rearends. brand loyalty is blind loyalty
