Thats actually all I needed. to know. The Ranger is an auto trans. the Exploder, I have no Idea. its what the junk yard brought up to me. Guess I will take it back there and see if they have a RANGER front drive shaft.

Well that clears things up a bit. THANKS MAN, that saves me another two hours of cursing.

Hey, napa does not sell any type of rebuild kit for the CV end of this drive shaft. Does anyone know who might carry it?

A remaned Shaft is like 280 bucks.

I am hoping I can rebuild the one I have. or maybe swap the guts out of the exploder shaft into my ranger shaft.???
