Finally got around to getting my 3.73's installed and as expected it really wakes up the car. The bad part is they whine. I have had it at two shops and both shops have checked and verified a good pattern and the backlash is at .008. The installer used the GT500 master install kit to be sure the high torque pinion bearing was used. Correct lube and friction modifier was used but in the end it whine's pretty bad. I called Ford Racing and asked for any suggestions and was told be sure the pattern is correct with the backlash on the low end of the spec. Then we started talking about pinion depth and their instructions that say to set the depth to what is stamped on the pinion. The tech said the 373N's do not have this stamped on them. The set I received does and they were purchased from a vendor here. The gears were in a sealed Ford Racing box. Ford Racing insists the N gear set should not have a depth stamped on it. The vendor say's they will not take back the gears since they have already been installed. Ford racing thinks they are not their gears so looks like I am out the cost of the gears and some labor. Has anyone noticed if their 373N's have the depth stamped on them? I am not amused by all of this but need to make it right so I need to order up a new set and try again. If I get a new set and the pinion depth is stamped on it then Ford Racing is going to have some explaining to do... I have use both of these shops in the past for gear installs and have never had an issue and in most cases I have used the FRPP 373's. I just don't get it, I think I should have just ordered the complete axle assembly..:bash:
