Default Looking to rebuild my 7.5

So I want to rebuild my 7.5 before I put it back in. Ive got used 3.73 gears, and Im looking at the Ford Racing posi unit from AM (any one had any problems with one before???) to put in it, but my real questions is does anyone make a FULL rebuild kit for the 7.5 using only Ford parts? I know AM sells a "install kit" for $75 made by Motive - Is that kit any good? I figure while the damn thing is out rebuild it so it will go another 150,000 miles....

Thanks,
Matthew

There is nothing wrong with Motive stuff.

Though I KNOW mustangman and a couple other guys have blown up the 7.5 Tlok with a stock motor, but if you don't beat on it much it should be ok...

My car has a 7.5 also (ex-v6) do you think the 7.5 will handle a set of 4.30 with good tires and maybe 230rwhp 5.0?

There really isn't too many options when it comes to a 7.5 rebuild kit. Try Ford.

I mean, all there really is to the rebuild kit is bearings, seals, and gaskets... If your that worried just go get all new bearings, shims and seals from Ford...

I thought you had got a 8.8? Go to my desk at work tomorrow I'll be there from noon-10pm. I got a rear end shop that can do this quick for you since all they do is rear ends
