[QUOTE="SlowYellow, post: 15963142, member: 27638"] Hello all, I've got a 13' GT500 and I purchased it with about 8K on the odometer. I've had it for about a year and a half, and I'm done with the rear end. The previous owner replaced the gears with a set of 3.73's. I love the gears, however the install that was done by a "cert'd ford tech" I am assuming was done poorly. The gear whine is ridiculous. They are ford racing gears. Beyond that, he gave me no data. That was all that was done in the rear end, I do know that, i.e. no carrier or axle upgrade. I'd like to fix it, and while I have it apart go ahead an replace what needs to be replaced to make it solid. I have aspirations in the far future to make around 1k whp. But like I said, it's a long way away. The cars current mods are: CJ TB Metco Idler pulley 2.4" VMP Pulley Whipple CAI with factory air box Lund Tune Soon to be installed: Kooks LT headers Kooks Catted H I'd like to get the consensus on what I should do with the rear end. I'd imagine that I should go ahead and order new gears, because I'm afraid that the gears are going to be trashed when the cover gets removed. I'm open to suggestions, and I appreciate them in advance. [/QUOTE]
