the GT comes standard with t-lok/lsd. just seems like a marketing strategy to keep a balance about which features will go on which car so that niether one gets left behind in expected sales.

My dad talks about a "CLUNK" from the old days. So all the have to do is open up the diff drop the axels and put in the T-Loc and most everyone tells me that is also the best time to put gears in as well. I was thinking about the 3.73s instead of the 4.10s I will not be going to the track for anything other than myself. I'm just looking for more or less street performance. With the T-Loc and 3.73s, is that all I'll need or will I have to go with a 8.8 rear end. If that is the case should I just go with a GT take off. I have the pony package if that makes a differance.

Also can anyone direct me to a site or vender so that I can purchase whatI need.

i have ford 3.73's and FRPP t-lok in my garage waiting to be installed. hopefully tomorrow if i can get an appointment in today. i will post a thread on my experience with these LONG AWAITED gears. as to where i purchased, t-lok was $195 (FREE shippping) from chipsv6specialties.com. good vendor. i will definitley purchase through chip again. gears are used but in excellent condition. the plus to this is that they are Ford oem and already broken in.

Thanks for the link I checked it out and I look forward to the update. It says that the 3.73s are the best combo for autos and the plan for F/I.

I am having 3.73's anf a t-lok put in, both FRPP. It cost me $785 for parts, labor & tax. I will give you a review once they are broken in, because I will have my gears/t-lok for about a week before my CAI/Tune comes in.

And I went 3.73's because I too have heard that is the best ratio for F/I which is a possibility, if I don't go F/I, then its because I am satisfied with my setup, either way is a win win.

Just this past Friday I was pulling out of a gas station, like you I check left then right then left again and all was clear. Then out of now where was this woman in a mini-van talking on the cell phone right in front of me! I almost T-Boned her! My guess is she pulled out of a car lot and didn't even look to see if the coast was clear. I'm so glad all is well!

How much would it cost to have just a t-lok installed?

Sancho805

i say about $250-300

red07Pony

Are you saying$250-300 to include both parts and labor?

So is a better launch the only benifit you get from it?

Does a dealership install that? Or do you have to find a shop to do it?

You don't need a GT rear unless you spend A LOT of time a the track.. and even then.. It would take FI power to break our rears.

I did the 3.73/t-lok combo and could not be happier. At first I did not notice much of a difference because I was taking it easy... but for an auto.. it basically keeps the car "ready" to take off at any time.. that's the way I would describe it.

I like the t-lok because that is what i am used to; it's harder to break traction, but once you do you lose it in both wheels.. which makes you fishtail. Personally, I find this car to be very predictable, and have no problems when the rear slips out a little.. especially when i do it on purpose

You will notice a big difference in traction when pulling out of a parking lot/gas station. When turning right, and if you take off with an open differential, you will really burn your drive (right) tire.
With a t-lok, your driver's side tire will grip, allowing you to actually take off and not squeal your peg leg.
