[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16542507, member: 184279"] I just did mine (2010 8.8) - completely. I replaced every moving part, except for the Moser axles. I used all Ford parts, with 3.55 Ford Racing R&P. My car makes 625rwhp. The old diff had numerous problems (chipped spider gears among them) and howled like a banshee when driving. The new setup is quiet as a mouse. I had to buy a carrier because the old one had spun the bearings. I have included a couple of pics below. The previous owner had run slicks on the car a few times, and that probably over-stressed the Trac-Lok, which is rated to about 700hp I think. I ended up just buying another Trac-Lok because I knew I wasn't going to ever put slicks on it, but if I was, then I would have bought something stouter, so my advice is do NOT utilize a Ford Trac-Lok carrier. Prior to pressing new bearings onto the new Trac-Lok, I used some Loctite Retaining Compound to help prevent that issue with the new carrier, and with your power level, I would recommend utilizing Retainer Compound to help hold the bearings onto the carrier. The bearings are too small for big power IMHO. Certainly seems like a weak point. [ATTACH=full]1678150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1678151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1678308[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
