sup guys? i work for a cab company in town. we use early 2000 model cops cars. they all came with 8.8 posi disc brakes. i've got one that we pulled out over the weekend. it's stuck in pos traction. that was the reason for pulling it. if interested hit me up.

so it's basically like it's welded then? what's the price you have for it?
i bet you could get a couple hundy for it on here....
do you know the gear ratio?

Probably 2.73 gearing, possibly 3.08s...

8.8s are easily found at PAP, so its not likely to get more than 120-150 for one unless its been regeared.

Also, the Crown Vic rear ends are basically full width and have the smaller axle tubes and center casting. Im not sure if the 2000 interceptors had 28 or 31 spline axles. Im not saying its a bad axle, but something must be wrong with it, busted spiders that jammed up maybe??? So these things should be taken into account when posting it up for sale.

He said it's locked in posi (dont know why) thats why they replaced it. Didnt know if it was the same or not so if anyone is interested in an 8.8 from a 2000 crown vic cop car with disc brakes that may or may not be broken P.M MTXJ. It's just takin up space in the garage so Im sure he would let it go way cheap.....
