Axle questions

[Grifter]

Are 2000 panther axles the same as ours?
If so, do 2000 CVPI's (actual former police vehciles particularly) come with 31 spline?

[Zack]

I think the 07 police cars come with 31 spline

[Grifter]

but not before then?

[RoyLPita]

CVPIs and Commercial heavy duty packages from 2005 come with 31 spline axles.

I believe 2000 MY panther are different.

Thanks.
there is a ex police car in one of the yards near me, thought maybe i could snag some 31's on cheap..

[RoyLPita]

Snag the differential too if it a locker.

2000 CVPIs were 28 spline, non-traction lok. Also, the 03-up cars have longer axles since everything in the rear is moved outward more, so anything pre-03 won't fit.

2 brandy new Ford 31s and a 31 LS can be had for around $450...

What Sal said. -02 axles are shorter than 03+, though the track width is comparable (change in axle housing width made to compensate for high positive offset wheels)

All -04 axles will be 28 spline, with the exception of Limo package Town Cars.

We've had two people on CVN now with civilian 2005+ cars that had 31 spline axles/carrier. Seems all 2005+ have 31 spline.
