I just would like to thank you guys in advance for anyone who has good advice but here's my problem
( I'm buying a brand new truck in June )
I Want to set up my 2002 Ford Explorer for some fun .
just about everything on the truck has been mechanically replaced the engine the transmission the transfer case all the CV axles, the entire front end , rack and pinion, upper lower ball joints.... you name it.
now I am faced with a gear whine coming out of the rear differential, got about a 135 K on the clock. I have changed the differential fluid multiple times during the seven years I've owned the truck.
what do you recommend should do ?
leave it alone and just change the gear oil again? because it sounds like a gear lash noise , OR should I have the differential completely rebuilt ? hunt down a used pumpkin ? what are your thoughts
One last thought any chance I can get a locker for the front differential? (not much on the aftermarket on this pig)
anyone have any similar experiences with Ford Explorers with this type of suspension?
