Dude, where are you located? I have a complete 7.5 axle assembly with 3.73 gears and a t-loc sitting in my garage.
Yeah, I went the 8.8 route because of higher power levels, but would have stuck with the 7.5 otherwise.
I was able to find some aftermarket axles awhile back for 7.5's, too, but not many.
Swapping the whole rear end is not that hard, especially with 2 people.

Sounds like you have a good excuse for your brother to buy you a 8.8 like these guys are talking about. Its not Fords problem, but now if one of my borthers did it, I would have to pay for the replacement, cause I would have takin the money out on his head already

As I said I'm poor , and he doesnt have the kinda money but good news, Just got back from the dealer . Wheel bearing and Axle replaced , rotor resurfaced and cost me $0.00 all under warranty. Just gave them the ole "I dont know what happened" story and when they Carfaxed my car the accident report came back clean.
