    The dreaded front passenger clicking noise

    Yep. Just noticed it. Definitely sounds like either IWE solenoid and/or actuator and/or the IWE’s themselves. Are the IWE’s on these built into the hubs or are they separate parts that can be replaced? Holding my breath because if you do one thing then you might as well do a bunch of other...

    Oil

    I have the 1st gen 5.4. I use 5W 30 full synthetic and I have 248,*** on the clock. Runs perfect. I also did research on who manufactures Motorcraft oil. ConocoPhillips makes it for Ford.

    What’s the best replacement for these ole gals?

    She’s got 245,***. Rebuilt the diff. It’s great again. I’ve maintained and repaired everything along the way w open checkbook. I retired the truck, sleeps in garage and runs once or twice a week to tow a 20 ft Sea Ray w a v8 3500lbs. Does the job easily. I don’t think I would put more into her...

    It just won’t die

    At 245,*** I drove from central Florida to northern Wisconsin and towed a 3200lb boat back. Left Florida on Monday got back Friday. Truck flawless. Ran as high as 75mph on certain stretches of smooth pavement. Damn truck will live forever.

    Used? Rebuild? Remanufactured? Rear Diff

    Yes. Parts and labor. Parts including both pinion and ring gears which actually looked fine. It was a couple bearings. Just about 500 miles on easy break in now so changing oil to Amsoil and putting a new diff cover. Original looks ratty.

    Just wanted to say how much I appreciate all you guys

    The knowledge here has helped me a lot. Lots of varying opinions and perspectives on these ole gals. As I sit here after just rebuilding the rear diff and a whole host of other repairs I lean on the experience of the folks here to decide when to call it quits on this old truck. Best wishes...

    Used? Rebuild? Remanufactured? Rear Diff

    We completely rebuilt the rear diff. I have the 9.75 LSD. Also did the axle bearings and seals while there. I’m breaking it in slowly and gently. Just up to 200 miles on break in. After 500 I’ll switch to Amsoil fluid and put a new diff cover. I burned up the diff w constant high speed...
