    How do you determine if whine coming from front or rear diff?

    It’s 9.75. All 5.4’s are 9.75

    How do you determine if whine coming from front or rear diff?

    I have 3.55 LSD but don’t know size of ring gear. 8.8 or 9.75?

    How do you determine if whine coming from front or rear diff?

    Beats me but hearing a little more diff noise after 30mph up to 75mph and increases on deceleration. Can’t tell if coming from front or rear. Front diff oil fresh. Rear diff oil old. Don’t want to make assumptions.

    Changing spark plugs in '97 5.4

    I e read up on Moog and I’ve used them before nothing special. Detroit Axle reviews are horrible. I may just fork the $250 for Duralast Gold ball joints and upper control arms.

    Damn, The repairs doesn’t end!

    That’s what I would look for, a 2014 last gen of 5.4’s, with lower miles.

    Damn, The repairs doesn’t end!

    I can get a decent set of parts for $250 w lifetime warranty so it’s worth it to me. This rig just runs too good. All these parts are wearable parts It’s also in great cosmetic shape. Buying a used truck say $25k is still a used 100k-150k mile truck and I’d have to do all this crap again. At...
