Diff Whine

[jordak]

Interested to know if anything can be done to reduce diff whine as in better oil / additives or is it just a matter of taking it back to Ford?

Took my T back to Ford..... took em a while but they replaced the diff.I was lucky though, APS phase 2 on car, second diff was a good'un no whine after 20000ks and a few runs @WSID. I think this is the exception rather than the rule.

Cant hurt to ask the question... who knows. As for additives I was told not to add anything to the diff , auto is another matter. This from one of Sydneys more reputable tuners.

see your dealer, if they dont replace the diff they should put an additive in your diff oil to shut it up.

I took my car into the dealer last week for a new diff but when it was time to go and pick it up they rang me telling me that the new diff is also screwed and that they have to order another one which is a 5 week wait.

I've been driving the car for a week and the new diff is twice as worse as the other one.

The original one just whinned at 80Km/h but this one does the same thing but it also growls at 100Km/h and clunks.

Did exactly the same as Buf-phoon above, Phase II fitted, warranty honoured, diff replaced and all is well. Suggest you leave the lubricant mix in the replacement alon as well as mine was certainly 'different' with aditives already in it. All is now quiet.

The whine is from incorrect contact path set up, and no additive will fix the problem, it may just quieten it down to get it out of warranty and cut to pieces later. Ben.
