gears, t-lok, and warranty
so i'm thinking of getting 3.73's and a t-lok....that voids the warranty right?
but how will ford know i have gears? i mean, is it completely obvious that the gears are different by just looking at it if they have to open it up for any reason? hopefully that's not too dumb of a question.

Hey sdguy, any time you mod you play with your warrenty. Will they know, well if it isn't involved with the rear end. YOu could always have your dealer do the mod and have them warrenty it. Good luck it is worth the money!

RE: gears, t-lok, and warranty
see i was wondering about getting it done at one of the dealers. there's one dealer that does a lot of custom work and was considering them do this.
i was also looking into getting a 1" drop...what do you guys think?

+1 have the dealer do it.
A 1" drop will clean up the gap but not effect ground clearance too much.
SOHC
PS: Does the SDS have a bigger radiator and extra fans to help with cooling in traffic jams? Just kidding, love your ride.

Hey SDguy have JBA do it I got mine done there and they did an awesome job. The dealer may not be the best place to have it done since they don't specialize in gears. You really need someone that knows what they are doing with it. Besides I don't think that by having the dealer do it it will not void the warrantee on the rear end or any thing else that may be linked to it. since your modding the car different than Ford built it. I may be wrong. You will love that mod dude!!

well when you get gears and a t lok you need to tune the car,otherwise your speedometer will be off. Way off. ford will know. i would waite till you are out of warranty.

I strongly recommend you ask around and get some referrals to either a speed shop or specialzed shop that does rear ends all day long and has lots of experience... When I asked my local dealership to quoute an install they told me, "We don't know what to quote you because we don't know how long it will take... " Not a good sign!! LOL!
