Well they got back to me and said they had a ford rep there and wanted me to take this guy out and show them what rattle I was talking about. Well he figures that its not internal to the gearbox, but says its where the gear knob attatches to the stick, so I will have this looked at.Well when we got back to the dealler ship I asked the guys if he knew what the whine in my diff is, as it was singing away during the drive. The noisy diff, whines at low speed. He said tell the dealler also. So I told the dealler and he had it on the hoist taking down part and serial numbers and said ill call u in about 4 weeks with your new diff!!!I dont get it I have been complaing since new about the gearbox noise and they have draged it out for so long. But this is the first official mention of a diff whine and they were staight on it, no questions asked, not even "ill get someone to go for a drive with you". Do they know something I dont???Well atleast ill get a new diff

I have been told there is a 3 month wait on the "new" diffs, but mine should be here next Wednesday. I think I may have que jumped, sorry to those waiting, but I guess the noisey wheel gets the oil. (pun intended).Track
