I have done over 30 passes at the drags with more then half being in the 10s and the standard diff is still going strong with 60k kms, ute is lowered also. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80916-fg-ute-diff/#findComment-1265498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone through 3 bent rear axles and the car hasn't even hit 20,000km.. I get a ton of axle tramp though that's why I'm bending so many.. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80916-fg-ute-diff/#findComment-1266029 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted 20/06/13 02:03 AM Share Posted 20/06/13 02:03 AM (edited) The standard diffs are fine. my Ute's diff loves the abuse haha. now and then it'll open up so I just slam up a gear and it'll lock again. Although in saying that, my centre bearing is Fuaarkked... the Herrod heavy duty tail shaft wasn't balanced correctly and it's caused all kinds of issues now Edited 20/06/13 02:04 AM by southside Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80916-fg-ute-diff/#findComment-1399731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclewal Donating Members 583 Member For: 14y 7m 12d Posted 20/06/13 02:19 AM Share Posted 20/06/13 02:19 AM I got quoted $1880 from Herrod for a new shaft, after reading your above post there will be no way I will be getting them to provide me one. Mine opens and closes like a barn door that diff centre, my truetrac arrived in the post today, next week will be skids ahjoy !

Real Posted 20/06/13 02:28 AM Share Posted 20/06/13 02:28 AM I'm not initially blaming Herrod, I just don't think it was balanced correctly when installed as well. so two faults are to blame here Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80916-fg-ute-diff/#findComment-1399740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
