You should think about upgrading your axles. Oh, and maybe rebuild the differential.
Just a suggestion.

I have a new set of genuine ford 3.73 gears I will let go for $90.00 + shipping. These are not Ford Racing or Motives in a Ford racing box they are the real OEM deal which should not whine if properly installed. PM if interested. John

+1 Why do you say your gears are going on? They are chunks of metal w/ teeth on them. They just dont decide to go out over night....
