I am looking to upgrade my NA FG to a T. Have been told by someone that ford diffs can't take the turbo load. when I tried to trace the source of this rumor it appears to realte to an earlier model Borg Warner diff used well prior to the FG line up. Have had no problems with mine which has now got 50k on the clock and has pulled some heavy loads but is only a NA. Any other experiences ?? Cheers Stu

Have researched further and it appears the problem is with the clutch plate type LSD diff (dana M80 ?), some sort of tab or lug falls off the protector caps ? (this from an independant mechanic), casuing diff noise.

Its the old dana diffs in ba's that were the problem, nearly sent dana into recievership.

I went through 5 in 8 months under warranty.

Hey thanks guys, although I note that in a seperate thread on this site there are people omplaining about noisy diffs in FG's ? Reading that thread it sounds like a luck of the draw thing as to whther you get a noisy one or not .

Thnaks for the replies.

Cheers

Stu
