[QUOTE="03SVT_SWE, post: 15110905, member: 167840"] Due to "clunk" in in the diff, I took it out and opened it up to measure the backlash. Result: 0,016 to 0,018 - too much (Ford recommends 0,008 to 0,012). I'm not quite sure what to do now: 1. Shim the crown so the backlash will be whithin spec. Leave the pinion alone. -or- 2. Take out the pinion and replace the crush sleeve and re-install - then measure the backlash. If ok-great, if not shim the crown to the right somewhat. Btw - the oil is pitch black and stinks, is that normal (30k miles)? Since I have the diff out - would you recommend other upgrades considering I have 600+ hp. I was thinking repacing the clutchpack in the LOK since the rear goes sideways when spinning the wheels at take off - makes sence? Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
