recently had 3:73 gears (fomoco) and a T-loc installed. Now the damm thing howls all the time,very annoying. Anyone have the same problem and/or hints on how to correct it??? other than putting banana peals in the differential

Almost certainly a bad gear setup. If there's a wear pattern, there's no recovering those gears.

Take it back to where you had it done.

I had my Ford dealer do my T-LOK install (Stock gears with 38k).

Absolutely ZERO noise (except from tires)...

Hopefully it didn't already damage the gears or T-LOK.

yup, your gonna want to get that fixed. I've read plenty of horror stories of that kinda thing happening.. thats why i never bought gears yet, but when i buy my blower in a yr or so imma have them do my gears while they are at it.. lol just hope it goes ok.. n doesnt have a Howling noise..

 

[06SatinSilverV6]

its either a bad gear setup like stl mentioned or the pinion bearings were overtorqued and now they are takin a dump. either way its bad, but the bearings if thats what is bad will only make noise for so long before they cease to spin resulting in a locked up rear. dont hold out too long to have it looked at.

 

[mrjimmy]

had the rear end checked today,,,the cars...The installer sais all the settings were correct,no apparent wear on the ring and pinion.Something was a .005 off and he corrected that. Bearing were/are new and ok. Suggested a Lucas additive to reduce the noise and get somemore miles on it. Then if it still makes the noise to check back where I got the gears and see if I can exchange them. Hmmm

This may be a stupid questin but does the same T-lok fit all 7.5 28 splines???

Yes... You need p/n FMS-M-4204C75

You didn't go around doing wild, crazy burnouts in the first 500 miles and driving 110mph did you?

 

[mrjimmy]

nope no burnouts for a couple hundred miles and not over 70mph,,for quite awhile yet.Only 87at the strip...
was advised to put some Lucas synthetic gear lube in it to quiet it down a bit.
Hope some of the noise gets dampened with the new driveshaft and axle housing cover.

You should try 50g of LiquiMoly MoS2 Anti-Friction Gear Oil Treatment. Great at quieting noisy gears.

could you clarify...50g Liquimoly MoS2

 

[stlwagon]

LiquiMoly makes a product that contains the lubricant molybdenum disulfide. Works wonders on quieting gears since it binds to the metal.

 

[mrjimmy]

got it on the liquid moly,what is the 50g ? thats what I was wondering about.

Thanks

I went to liqui moly website and they say the stuff is not recommended for oil bathed clutches or oil controled driffs.
I don't know if the ford t-loc is considered an oil controled diff or not?

When i looked into going with tracloc and better gears a guy at randy's ring and pinion, told me to go with something diffrent than 3.73 gears icannot remember the make, but he said they have a tendency to houl. I thnk he recommend the ford gear set up, anyway i bought a complete 8.8 take out axle from a company with 4.10's yet to put in in tho may never, Im trying to sell my car to upgared to a GT, Ill save the 4.10's for the Gt maybe

No it is not... It is a purely mechanically controlled system. You'll be fine.
