For those who don't know, I blew my dif and my car is at Terry's. The dif blew up and blew a hole in the trans case. I'm getting a quaife installed which should prevent this from happening again. A word to the wise, when you get your clutch replaced, I would suggest doing the dif too. The worst feeling is to shift gears and have the engine rev without moving the car. Do what you like, but I would really consider a quaife, torsen, or even a new Ford dif when you do your clutch. You're paying for the labor anyway...why do it twice and risk being stranded b/c Ford designed a weak dif.
Good luck and happy racing!
ford did not "design a weak dif" they just didn't install a dif designed for 'raceing'. no prob, if you want to run the car hard, just install the proper parts. no one ever considers it "poor engine design by ford" when they make performance enhancements... i don't understand that thinking. the diff holds up fine if you treat it how it was meant to be treated.
anyway, sorry to hear about your car man.. that sucks.
