i got mine for $370 off ebay look around

 

ur almost better just to buy and 8.8 with the gear of ur choice dont mess around with the 7.5 its weak and ur just gonna break it again even with a true trac ican promise you that an axle is like 900 slap it in and ur good ur still gonna spend 800 to 1k rebuilding ur 7.5 might as well put a good axle in it thats what i did and i dont regret it

 

A 7.5 rear end w/ a DTT is stronger than a stock 8.8...

 

I thought that was only with aftermarket axles? By the way, did you get my PM Cro?

 

the axle shafts are the same for 28 spline on 7.5 and 8.8, the biggest advantage the 8.8 has is the ability to run 31 spline axles

a hardened set of axle shafts, a DTT, girdle, and girdle stud kit (all available at DTS posted above if you look around) and you will have a damn solid rear end that weighs a good 80 lbs less then an 8.8, there are a handful of sn-95 guys that have been running 7.5s with eatons/detroits with 400+ ft.lbs

and a stock 8.8 isnt THAT strong, ive blown the spiders out of a 8.8 tlok on a stock mach 1 which, even though they have 28 splines vs the 31s in the new ones. but fords parts are replacement parts, he even said he drives his car, hard, as he should, that along with the 20s i would try and stay clear of ffrp stuff

or find a wrecked GT with an 8.8 real cheap and throw a true trac or an eaton E-locker (posi unit that is an electric locker) but if you find aused 8.8 it should be rebuilt anyways

you cant really say get an 8.8 to have a stronger rear, if you do want a 100% no question asked bullit proof rear, get a 9"

 

u guys think theres any chance this will be covered under warranty?

 

FYI i have 17k on the clock and a little over a year having the car...

 

You did a clutch drop and broke something ... whyshould it be covered under warranty?

 

BRING THAT SUCKER BACK TO THE DEALER.... TELL THEM TO FIX IT...ISN'T THAT WHY YOU GET A WARRANTY....I GOT THE EXTENDED FOR 75000 MILES....MY SALESMAN TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE IT AND IF IT BREAKS BRING IT BACK

 

ford is just going to replace it with another open diff, go ahead it should be under warrenty, but you might be back in another 20k[8D]

and good luck fighting that one with the 20s on it
