Yet another failure

[802SHO]

You 2 clowns kill me lol. I’m off tomorrow so I’m gonna swap the mounts back for the hell of it. Also I put 2 rear tires on since the noise started. I’m gonna swap them to the front. My dad road with me this morning told me I’m insane his mustang makes the same sound.

Good, get to work!  LoL.

Andrew can confirm this. I was tearing all my parts out and selling the b*tch as of yesterday lol.

It's true...he was so mad he was looking at a Hyundai.....lol JK!

What you didn’t like that accent GT?

Anyone have any idea how to know what the ratio is of the 100s of junkyard diffs available. Most of them just say SHO but don't specify 2.77 vs 3.16

I'm doing the retract when you put into reverse delete as even when its down it tries to retract causing the gear teeth to sheer off.

Would you care to share how to do this?  I don't have any issues with the shade ATM but use the function every day and I can only assume with a 10 year old, 100K mile car that issues might start showing their face sooner than later.

After a little research I found an answer, not sure this is the easiest way but it'll work.  Removing the rear parcel shelf will give us access to the rear shade motor.  Disconnect it and voila, no power to the shade.  Here's a link to a page with the FSM diagrams to help in the removal for my MKS.  I would assume SHO procedure would be similar.  https://www.justanswer.com/ford-lincoln/8a7h0-lincoln-mks-2010-lincoln-mks-rear-sun-shade.html

For the SHO, there is a writeup on shoforum.com

If anyone has access the ford system/vin lookup, would like to verify gear ratio for 1fahp2kt3bg128217. I think ZSHO would be my best bet.

...Inside the cabin the car actually sounds like it has an exhaust now.  The pitch and feeling of the motor has completely changed for the better for me.  Now other people may absolutely hate it, but not I.

Funny you mention that.  I noted in my original post after installing these that it sounds like a Mustang with a quiet Magnaflow system inside the car, but outside audibly, nothing's changed!

You literally just nailed in words what I hear now.  Wonder how much it will change when the DP's go on.

I’ve only had mine in with the downpipes. I can say outside the car is legit no difference with or without pipes. Cold start is the only noticeable difference. That and the slight turbo whine when accelerating.

Sorry for the late reply! Based on the VIN number provided the ratio is a 2.77 AFAIK! Z

Thanks Z your a savior!! Got another diff with 90k for $118

Glad to help out Brother!  It sounds like you got a steal their! Best of luck. Z

Wow that’s it for a used diff? Argh maybe I will crawl under this thing and fix it.

 

[polskifacet]

There are 1000s of diffs because the "carrier" is the same across explorers, Lincoln's, etc etc just the gear set is different. It's was more difficult to find 2.77 ratio. PP sho is quite a bit easier 3.16 ratio. It wasn't worth touching the old 1 as I suspect the gears are fine but new bearings would quickly surpass $100 and tack on labor so triple $ of another uses diff.

I hope everything worked out well with that RDU! Z
